It's interesting that the Kindle's DRM scheme had been broken at least a few years before the Kindle
was even released. And yet that doesn't seem to have bothered anyone.

I'm not sure what to think about that -- perhaps content owners consider it good enough, if it
takes users 4 clicks to bypass the restrictions?

If they do, we really, really, want them to keep doing so. I think people are under-estimating the value of that.
