It stopped people from pirating, but it stopped even more people from buying it I'd imagine. Dishonored 2 wasn't cracked for several months, not because it was impossible but because it was an awful port with performance issues. I'd imagine the same thing is happening here. Why bypass the DRM before it's in an optimal state when they can patch the game and implement a new DRM scheme like Mass Effect Andromeda did (where Denuvo was bypassed, then an update that fixed the animations used a newer, different version of Denuvo).
If Ubisoft is more interested in chasing "lost sales due to piracy" at the expense of the user experience and possibly performance (we won't ever know this for sure unfortunately), they can fuck off. Denuvo is a ticking time bomb for the legitimate user and when they stop paying the AWS bill, a lot of games are going to be rendered unplayable by "legitimate means".
