It's in IPR's interests for us publishers to think that we need it.
All I know is that over the last few years, whenever people have publicly reconsidered using IPR, looking just at hard numbers... the response has not been "Well, here are all these benefits" as one would sell to a customer, but rather, "Here's all our costs and reasons"...
Which never really addresses the bottom line issues and often is framed in a way to shift the issues to one of sympathy, etc.
As I wrote recently - Forge 101: you don't need a distributor to sell games, and where you choose to use one, it should be on the basis of it serving your business, not the other way around.
