I've been reading the same thing a couple of times lately, company x removes Denuvo from game y.

What is happening? Are we returning to a state of innocence and purity?

Lots of studios use Denovo to try to reduce piracy during the release period of the game, and then remove it when the impact of piracy would be lower. It probably involves everything from managing customers good will to the cost of Denovo over time.
