Does denuvo provably improve any meaningful business metrics? I can only see it as a loss of sales since everyone hates it. I've never purchased a game with it that I otherwise would have.

It usually delays some sales and in theory stops early piracy. I don't know anyone that doesn't buy something because it had denouvo.

The way to get them to stop is to boycott any game that ever had it installed to reduce life time sales. But there's just not enough consumer sentiment against it to really make an effect right now.
