DRM was always a bad idea and Apple just had the bad (good?) luck to be the first really successful online music store. They've made PLENTY of money on it, and I would think that their lawyers will be able to get them out of selling DRM music if all these other companies are going to be selling DRM-free music.
DRM doesn't serve any purpose unless everyone uses it, so holding Apple to it when others are selling DRM-free music online doesn't make much sense.
