Someone has to be first!

Usually the first one to a market keeps a large portion of the clientele that the new market developed. The latecomers have to be REALLY innovative to entice those clients away from "what they are used to."
ADE is the one that has the DRM. The problem is that without the DRM, a lot of publishers won't go for it. So if ADE doesn't do it, it won't happen no matter how many apps get ePub 3.
