Why bother breaking the DRM on their media? There's plenty of other sources for almost everything (save the rare iTunes exclusives) on there, so there's virtually no reason to bother. If the app store is the only place to get these apps, you can be sure pirates will work on cracking that DRM.
True, I should rephrase what I meant there: there is less motivation, other than the sheer challenge, to break their media DRM. With the possibility that apps will be only available through the store, there is some economic/first release motivation as well, so I'd expect the DRM breaking on that to be more agressive.

People have broken the DRM system from Apple in the past, (Fairplay), and Apple keeps fixing it.

Because it is there. People do it in part for the challenge, and in part to send a message along the lines of "you can't stop us this way".
