NO of course they didnt set out to piss gamers off. I cant believe the abuse theyve got on the internet its not justified at all . i can see the advantages of drm for me family sharing and having all my games in one place to access instantly is a step forward we live in a digital world. seems like a lot of people dont like change.im hoping that MS might bring an opt in drm sometime down the line

Are you aware of the fact that "family sharing" didn't mean sharing full games, it meant that people could demo your games for <1 hour? Is that really worth giving up physical ownership of your games?

That is incorrect. All games will have demos available to play from day one. That has no relation to the game sharing system. You would be able to play the full game as long as you want. The rules are you need to be part of the family for at least 30 days and you can't play at the same time the other person is playing. The person playing the game from your library gets polled every hour he/she is playing. Further, the reason behind this is once people start sharing games they will want to play each other and click to buy. No need to D/L the game again or go to the game store to pick up. The logic was this will actually create extra sales.
