Yep! Which is why the Arch package just extracts it from Chrome and then puts it in the right place for Chromium.

I mean if you could just build Widevine and decrypt content it wouldn't be very good DRM.

This is fine for power users who care enough to do it. But for the general public, as well as companies which would need to do this if they wanted to support DRM in their own kind of browser, it is not going to fly with Google and probably isn't legal.
