That's like asking whether modern humans (from all over the planet) prefer vegetarian/vegan food and the answers would be nearly the same and not worth a lot since it's way too generalized.
The real question is:
Do GOG customers still care about DRM-free or has 90% of this particular customer base already been replaced?
We had a customer base here that has a life and also other hobbies so one that can just as well live without gaming if they are not treated right but that was also ready to part with a lot of money just for supporting something.
Now I mostly see the same audience like on Steam: Video game junkies who'd do anything to get their shot.
Those "junkies" also don't care whether their purchase is gone tomorrow as long as it is here today.
If you think about it, that's what happened with every form of art as soon as it was industrialized, it became a short term stimulus and not something to gather and appreciate and the gaming industry is bigger than Hollywood by now when it comes to profit, so having stuff that lasts and is always accessible isn't considered to be a good thing anyway since you have to keep the money machine running.
Most millennials have been bred with the fitting mindset of dumb customers that can't look past today.
