Not strictly true. They require artists who wish to sell via their
store to provide edited versions. Nothing evil about it, just a
marketing decision that for them works. No one is forced to make an
edit and Walmart is not forced, nor should any store be forced, to
sell what they do not wish to sell. Freedom is a two way street.

Evil store. Better to get rid of DMCA than to rely on vendors like
Walmart.
