At which point they can decide to remove the DRM
Can, but might not. Companies are not notorious for spending effort on products they are abandoning. The only reason they do it with Denuvo is that it charges them a subscription for as long as it's implemented.
I mean of course they probably won't, but again that is a problem with implementation and not an inherent problem with DRM.
I think you're misunderstanding things. You trust these companies to do what is best for the consumer. That's not how the rest of us, or the companies you're defending, consider things. Their interest is in the bottom dollar. If screwing you makes a buck, they'll do it. Trusting them to do the right thing is a major player in enshittification.
I think you're misunderstanding things. I absolutely do not. Quite the opposite, actually. Hence why I said "of course they probably won't".
