The lack of a DVD drive isn't what killed the Dreamcast. I'd argue that the nail in the Dreamcast's coffin was when software piracy on the platform became trivial.

Software piracy was definitely a thing but the layperson didn't care or know about that at the time. DVDs were just getting big and the main reason people bought play stations over DC was because it was a two-in-one device that can play DVDs and games.
