It is always the same game comes out runs like short after a month drm gone game runs fine …

Its because the launch of the game is when a game, especially a niche genre gets sales. Since denuvo has a recurring cost to using it, how early its removed is dependant on sales.

So it's more of a "publisher cutting costs" thing than sheer benevolence.

usually yes, its a publisher cutting the reccuring cost of using the DRM
