Hard agree. There was so much nerdrage when the EME was being considered for standardization, as if by not standardizing an API we'd be preventing DRM from existing. People acted like Tim Berners-Lee was stabbing the collective internet in the back when he endorsed it.
The choice was between a standardized web-based DRM, or a wild west of incompatible proprietary DRM. Personally, I'm glad I don't need Silverlight to watch Netflix anymore.
