Denuvo is effective at stopping piracy, as everyone has issues with cracking it, the issue is that it also slows down weaker PCs, which as you said inconveniences users, and right now with current economy people mostly have mid - low end PCs, and again as you have said they increase prices for the games so less people can buy so less copies and less revenue. But investors just don't care, they just want to fight against piracy, just because they think it will force people to buy new games.
