I imagine a lot of them don't care about access to books. Streaming services have changed things.

As head mod of r/Kindle I can tell you there’s been no decrease in the number of new Kindle owner posts. Most people don’t know and those that know mostly don’t care.
I’ve been a member of the sub for 6 years. I’ve been a mod for 4 years and head mod for over 6 months. Throughout all of that time I had been telling people to back up their books and it was like shouting into the void. Even today I have members who don’t understand why the removal of D&T is a huge deal. People only learn after DRM bites them in the ass. We get posts every so often from people who have had their Amazon accounts locked down. Some of them never got their accounts back. The documentation Amazon requested wasn’t good enough. Only one person who didn’t get their account back was ok because they had been backing up of their books all along. The rest lost everything.
