Also, Amazon is able to produce content without DRM. Mp3 format music, etc.

I'm not sure I see your point

Apple music = Amazon music = DRM free

Apple iBooks = Amazon Kindle books = incl DRM

Apple movies = Netflix = everyone else = incl DRM



Apple music = Amazon music = DRM free

Correct.

Apple iBooks = Amazon Kindle books = incl DRM

Apple movies = Netflix = everyone else = incl DRM

Less correct. Kindle and Netflix have DRM, but they don't have the platform lock-in of iBooks and movies. iBooks, as far as I know, is only available on iOS. DRM is bad, but DRM that's tied to a smaller range of platforms is even worse.
