They limit their market to only those people who'll put up with DRMd music. I don't recall the dates of the decisions and changes too well but I'm pretty confident iTunes sales would have sky-rocketed some time AFTER the DRM came off.
Is the number of people who only buy music from iTunes really enough to keep iPhone where it is in the market?
