That's a shame, but at least you can't run DRM over a 3.5mm cable.

I suspect that's why everyone's dropping it.

I tend to doubt that. Even ten years ago on enthusiast music piracy sites it was quite rare to see pirated analog recordings of DRMed digital audio. There isn’t even widely used end-to-end audio DRM like HDCP, is there?

10 years ago, there wasn't a good reason to do that. 10 years from now, who knows... The more lock-in, the "better"!
