For what it is worth, I tend to agree with Quoth. I happily remove DRM from books I have purchased and then convert formats, edit and make backups. I do not remove DRM from library books, Kobo Plus, Kindle Unlimited or Kindle Prime books since they are loans, i.e. I can't kid myself that I own them. YMMV but that's where I stand.

This leaves Kindle owners outside the USA with a dilemma since I am not aware of another country where Kindle format ebooks are available as public library loans. Epub, PDF and some specialized apps aren't much use in the Amazon ecosystem.
