DRC is the poor man's 'room full of fluffy stuff'. If you have the time, space and funding to build a dedicated listening room with the help of audio engineers going bananas, I presume you don't need DRC at all. But there might be contraints, financial or perhaps estethic. DRC can help a lot, but not all the way.
There are different problems in audio with different orders of magnitude. Listening room acoustics is high up on that scale and DRC can help correcting that problem. Much, much more rewarding per monetary unit and time spent than for instance replacing an amplifier with THD 0.005% to one with 0.0005% (which also would be pointless). Another advantage is that in the process one measures and quantifies the sound quality and usually present it in a visual way. After applying a suitable filter you can usually also see the improvement visually. DRC gives audible results, often substantial, but for the skeptic who likes seeing those in numbers, the process has inherent proof. So, why is DRC not everywhere already? As it's possible to automate it, there is no hard reason. At least according to my head, where I live.
