It would be a different matter if I didn't have a Kindle device.

For me it wouldn't matter if I had a device to read it on or not. I'm not going to buy anything with DRM that cannot be removed. I want to adjust formatting and make a personal backup, neither of which can be done with DRM intact.
And not buying/reading a book at all... easily. I already have far more unread books in my library than I could read in several lifetimes. So for me it makes no sense at all to buy a book with an unremovable DRM.
