Well granted. But at least for Fictionwise (We will see about B&N), it was their preference to publish in "multiformat". They only offered "secure" versions when the publishers mandated it.
Ultimately, the problem is that epub is only part of a standard. There is no standard for DRM. I suspect that in large part, the reason there is no standard is that it allows the publishers to keep coming up with new DRM schemes to try and keep a head of the hackers who inevitably break the DRM within days of its release.
