You know you can download them and remove the DRM.

Sure, if I thought to do that before the chargebacks. I'd also better have an iron-clad backup strategy for the now irreplaceable files.

What about the non-technical user who disputes a charge, doesn't even know what DRM stands for, and finds themselves in this situation?

Has the latest DRM been cracked yet?
I don't know if the new DRM that is applied to the books as they are on the device has been cracked, but there are links to download books to a computer (on the "Manage Your Content and Devices" Amazon page), and those can be unlocked by a Calibre plugin.
