There is a difference between responding to consumer demands and "getting away with it". The latter suggests that the penalties were either miniscule or non-existant. If XB1 got away with DRM, the Sony would follow suit to compete, and possibly even Nintendo. Just like Sony added a fee for Multiplayer because XB has been doing it for the past decade.
As for release time parity, thats only the beginning, pretty soon it will be quality parity, and then xbox will be truly holding back development. That's why the day that Xbox gets and hold majority marketshare in the console realm, the day that Console gaming will truly be d00med, unless of course the stop acting like pricks. Consumers are smart, but it would be foolish to place your trust in them, I hope that they teach MS a lesson this gen and if anything the DRM fiasco was a good sign, but I won't rest easy till I see real mainstream movement.
