If we deleted DRM now, we'd probably have a longer gap between cinema and streaming releases, but that's about it. Old distribution models are gone beyond revival. Everyone would turn to piracy and rights-holders know this, so they'd have to give in. They're extremely risk-averse, yes, but they still prefer making money over not making money. As for the cloud point, "in an instant" is definitely not how I'd describe the process of moving between cloud providers. There wouldn't be whole series of blog posts coming out every month or so talking about how some company moved from provider X to Y, spending 100s of engineer hours just to find themselves in another semi-closed ecosystem, but for half the price.
