Good point, I wasn't even thinking about that but that is a better
answer. I forgot we are talking about broadcast/Non-Br networks.

The short answer would be - they are not supposed to peer even if you
have multipoint interfaces.
The purpose of choosing a DR and BDR on a multi-access network is to
minimize the number of LSA sent by each router in the area and also the
DR to represent the multi-access network to the rest of the
internetwork.
When a DR is elected all the other routers in that multi-access segment
are going to peer just with the DR and therefore will exchange LSA just
with the DR minimizing the flood.
