If I can't buy the non-DRM's ebook I buy the pbook (which isn't DRM'd!) - then I might "format-shift" by resorting to the darknet to find an electronic copy.
DRM stripping is fine but it boosts sales of DRM'd ebooks and therefore allows publishers to carry on believing - or not believing but claiming - that DRM is not an issue for the majority of the ebook buying public.
