That's a good job - people who don't like DRM (you) get more money, and the bad DRM is a distraction that delays the implementation of good DRM.

On the other hand, even weak DRM trains users to accept it while power users are less likely to rally against it if they can find workarounds for themselves. So you don't really end up delaying the implementation of good DRM but helping prime its acceptance.
