I agree. But that wouldn’t lead to more content freely available. It would lead to more content being locked in apps and unavailable in the browser.
Do you think they would’ve made an app for Linux? I don’t.
The dream that all content be available DRM free isn’t happening any time soon. Rights holders clearly don’t want it and I don’t think anyone could marshal a big enough boycott to change that.
So the choice is DRM or no content at all. Given that EME is a good outcome.
