It's security through obscurity. For pure software stuff, like Widevine L3, you can just patch the browser or insert a shim to spit out the decrypted video somewhere.

Is that the decrypted and decompressed video, or decrypted and still compressed? If the former, that's going to be a gigantic file, and you're going to lose quality when recompressing (although if you were planning to recompress anyway the quality loss is no worse).
