Well, if you burn them for backup, you still have to reimport them to play them, and then you lose quality, because AAC is a "lossy" format, and then you reimport in an unprotected format you lose quality again, plus you have a second copy of the same song.
98% of my music is ripped from CDs (that I own), so it's not a big deal for me. But as Apple's success grows, it will become a problem for them that no other devices can play their music. I understand not licensing competing mp3 players, but it's a bit annoying for other products that apple doesn't make (and I presume does not plan to make).
