Yes, they are, when they sign the agreement with Amazon/Kobo/B&N to allow DRM on their eBook. Just like they grant those sellers/distributors the right to make copies in the first place, they also grant them the right to put DRM on the book and enforce it.
This is copyright law 101...any agent that is granted rights in copyright by the copyright holder is treated as if they are the copyright holder for purposes of copyright law as far as those transferred rights are concerned.

No, "you" (i.e., "the reader") is not removing DRM. A device or software authorized by the copyright holder is removing the DRM.
Again, copyright law 101.
