I do not think that doing away with Download & Transfer is mainly about blocking DRM removal. I believe it is more about assuring that Kindle devices are kept online as much as possible so that Amazon can use them to gather usage statistics, show ads (suggested books), and encourage making purchases directly from the device. It's all about making new sales.
