Why aren't there more pirated audiobooks considering how easy it is to rip them from Audible? (lemmy.ml)

edit: Libation apps needs you to give it your amazon password and ID, it's foss and I trust it. (editing because seemed important)

Amazon allows you to download the book from Audible, but you need a code/password or something like that to read it. Libation can basically convert these encrypted files into decrypted mp3 files by getting this code from the website, I am pretty sure you can get it too. So, my question is, why aren't there more pirates pirating audiobooks? Why isn't every audiobook on audible available online for free?

I mean, many are, but why is it not more prevalent?

Probably a stupid question, but how do you rip the drm? I hate having to use my phone to listen to it in my car, for example, and I don't have unlimited data or an audio jack (I know, I can download the app, and have play through that, I don't want their stupid app). I want to load an mp3 on my thumb drive, and plug that into the car, and leave it in the car until I need to load a new mp3. I've done a recording, but have to let it run the length of the program, and that's just annoying.

This is the app I use, It strips the DRM and converts to mp3 or M4A files:
