From a simple usability perspective, definitely agree. I re-purposed a Dell Chromebook with Debian Jessie for my partner last weekend and the hardest thing (bearing in mind I had to delicately pop the case apart and remove a write protect screw to flash the BIOS) was getting streaming working for the on-demand stuff she likes to watch.

Netflix 'just worked' with Chrome but some French TV channels (looking at you M6!) are still stuck streaming Flash. Getting pipelight to work with Firefox took hours of fucking around and it still bombs on certain streams.

If we have to have DRM it's got to be preferable suffering it through an open standard rather than black boxes forced on us through shitty plugins riddled with security holes.
