Which will provide the motivation to enable DRM the whole platform.

Lol motivation to whom? And yes, it shouldn't be part of the standard. It shouldn't be a thing. But all of FAANG are DRM enthusiasts, so it's not going anywhere unfortunately. Best you'll be able to do is use a browser that doesn't display content served by FAANG and friends.
