The open source projects that I can think of that violate section 1201 are doing it intentionally, like DeCSS and now this Widevine crack. There's no way for these projects to comply and they don't want to.

Yes, and with GPL violations there's a path forward that doesn't involve shutting down: release your source code. With DRM breakers, there is no such path forward, the only way to get into compliance is to shut down.
