Even if the "grace period" (aka "offline mode"), Steam also times out without connection, and if market coverage statistics are to be believed, most people don't seem to use services that provide DRM-free gaming. And as Steam also provides movies and series (they still do, right?), the situation is worse as barely any stores offer DRM-free videos.
(On an upside, at least musics seem to be fairly common DRM-free, including on Steam.)
