Giving the file listing of a font zip is a good selling point I guess.

On one hand, it makes it dead simple for someone to just Google for the filenames and download it elsewhere. On the other hand, they at least have a chance of having searches for the file name end up on their site if someone is looking for the original source.

I agree. It's not easy to stop font piracy, most companies and legitimate users that want to use the font will buy it. I think they might as well make it easy for the revenue-generating customers and stop worrying about potential customers that weren't likely to buy their fonts anyways; DRM makes things worse for the paying customers.
