Who said all six are in active use at a time? Many people buy a new cellphone every year (I sure don't, but some people do!) Many people here list all the various Kindles, Kobos, and tablets that they have in their profile. Your profile lists one eReader and three tablets - I might guess that you also have a smart phone and maybe even another eReader or two that you do not list. Several people may have a tablet, buy a new one, then wipe the old one clean to factory specs, then give/sell it so someone else. These devices are not necessarily all still on the users account, but they will still show up there as being active there for the purpose of download limits.
Sure, one could manage all these devices, removing one when it is wiped and sold/donated, put into the basement "old electronics box", etc. - but it's easier to remove DRM in the first place and be done with it, for good. Which is the point I was attempting to make with my comments.
