At least the Books app on Apple iOS/macOS will manage and read plain old epubs and PDFs without issue, even if you’ve already bought DRM’d books from Apple’s store.

It’s really only big name e-ink readers other than Kobo that have this issue.

It's not "other than Kobo", though; it's Kindle specifically (and only with ePub, it takes PDFs). The other devices will happily take both PDF and ePub.

As for Kindle... for most users Send to Kindle is going to be more convenient than sideloading anyways, and that does take ePubs now, so it's not a huge usability hit.
