Sorry, but your version of history paints a very rosy version of Apple. The one I see sees them embracing DRM, and pretending not to, because of the lock-in value, and only shifting to non-DRM when one of the majors demanded it for their songs.
Apple are very much into control and lock-ins, as can be seen from multiple products.
