The continuation of a DRM scheme depends on it's success and cost-effectiveness, not the success of the software it's tied to.

Some time ago, games began to receive limited installs as a DRM measure; Spore is an excellent example. Public outcry followed, but did people stop buying these games? No, they didn't (some, maybe). Did the strategy survive? No, it didn't.

Following your logic, either no one bought games with that DRM, or every game today has it. Neither is true.
