You can own things in digital format, y’know? All media I have on my drives is also not tied to some service since it’s all DRM-less

I think they mean that it requires an effort. In particular, for ebooks it requires to be outside the Amazon ecosystem, where they can delete remotely your books if they lost the right to sell them.

I don't think Amazon ecosystem requires less effort. Not only does it require paying (with a card!) for each book, but I don't even know if it would work on non-Kindle devices.
