So I guess Nook DRM has changed since I last tried it. The last time I downloaded and imported a Nook book, it was Rawhide Flat and importing to Calibre did remove the DRM.

I suspect Nook DRM could still be stripped, but none of the DRM people care about Nook enough.
I suspect your last sentence is correct. Sony's LRF (it might have been LRX) was the same way. It wasn't broken but I think it's more because no one really cared enough to really focus on it.

I do wonder a bit if some of those books on Nook but not Amazon are books where the contract has expired, but no one on the Nook side bothered to remove them.
