Denuvo is there to prevent piracy within the first 90 days of release. Something like 60 to 80% of a game’s revenue is during that period. They don’t care that it’s eventually cracked, and they absolutely do not care about performance.

Ah, so Denuvo is always removed after ~90 days after release, as there is no point for them to keep it there?

A number of publishers have retroactively added Denuvo to their older games, inexplicably.

With the hypervisor method they get 0 to 1 day protection

Then DRM should automatically remove itself after that period. Copyright durations should also be adjusted to that same time frame.
