Not even that. Cracks tend to be released a day or two before the DRM they are meant to bypass are officially started. Leaking DRM information is one rather viable source of income, and I dare say there's not a single DRM manufacturer out there that doesn't have at least one or two traitors on their payroll.
Sadly, and I'd say that's the main issue of the whole "No built-in DRM", companies still don't get that DRM is worth nothing and they could make more money by providing customers with non-DRM-messed, high-quality products.
So, yes, I think it makes a difference whether a platform offers DRM or not. But not because DRM protects anybody, but simply because only few software companies have realised yet that they are shooting their own feet with DRM.
