I don't understand this DRM thing at all. Why don't developers just stop allowing the game discs to be installed to the computer? That way the only computer to play the game would be the one that had the disc on hand.

It'd be too slow. Reading data from a hard drive is massively quicker than reading an optical disc, especially if the data isn't stored sequentially. Also, with the size of games these days, the PC would probably also have to decompress data from the DVD as well, adding to extra latency.
