Kindle and Nook both use DRM. Kindle dominates the market right now. Most readers use Kindle and buy their books for Kindle from Amazon.
Those books have DRM and are sent directly to the Kindle from Amazon. It has very little effect on the user experience, so that does not bother readers.
If an author makes it so their book is NOT available on Kindle from Amazon, then yes I think that would be a huge problem for most readers and would prevent them from reading the book.
However, it's not the DRM that is the problem (because Kindle uses DRM). The problem is making the book unavailable to read on Kindle and Nook.

Sometimes people also prefer different readers too.
