It hasn't. DRM-free stores are actually growing. Bandcamp and others offer DRM-free music. GOG, Humble and Itch offer DRM-free games.
The only media that's almost completely sick with DRM is video. You practically can't find DRM-free video legally. Only pirates provide it DRM-free. Stupid if you ask me, since DRM never could and never will prevent actual copying. So instead of being so backwards thinking, video industry execs should start selling it DRM-free. Otherwise it's only their loss.
But I wouldn't count on normal sense in their reasoning. MPAA cartel is way too corrupt to do things right. DRM isn't even about profits for them, it's about control, i.e. power (since it's paired with anti-circumvention garbage).
