While I may not reread, I want to be able ot remove the DRM in case I want to fix up the eBook such as a real cover, removing the hundreds of unused CSS classes. Yes, some eBooks do have hundreds of unused CSS classes in the CSS as the publisher just keeps adding new classes to the house CSS, remove the embedded fonts, fit the wonky formatting, fix the wonky font sizes, etc.

Also, if the eBook was from Amazon, I would have t shift or convert it to ePub to read on my Kobo.

Also, if I had to create a new Adobe account and register a new Reader with that new account, I would not lose access to the ePub eBooks I've already bought. DRM may not get in the way for some now, but that could someday come back to bite them in the a$$.
