For me not being in control of my purchased books would be totally intolerable. Before I bought my first ebook, I looked up DRM, Alf and Calibre; had it not been possible to remove the DRM, I would never have bought a single ebook, at least not with DRM. This view has not changed in the 12 years I've been buying and reading ebooks.
I know most people don't want the bother and prefer to leave control over their libraries to whatever store the books were bought from; others never reread and don't care what happens to the books they've already read. And then there are those who prefer to liberate and back up everything they buy. I reread a lot and I want the freedom to read my books on whatever device might catch my interest; I couldn't stand to be tied to any one ecosystem. YMMV, as always.
