Sorry, but you're wrong. The iTunes DRM was ridiculously easy to circumvent even in iTunes itself. No mad leet hackzor skillz required.
Since you could trivially turn aac files into mp3 files in iTunes [...]
Do you mean the "semi-analog hole" of burning protected tracks in iTunes to a CD-R, then ripping the disc back into MP3 tracks?
If so, I wouldn't call that trivial because it requires a physical medium and some level of knowledge about audio formats to realize the possibility (I think a layperson would not understand that AAC->CD->MP3 is no more lossy than AAC->MP3).
