Given that for EME to not be trivially bypassed, the CDM has to be a blob implementing its own decoders, how is this significantly different than Flash or Silverlight binary plugins?

Why would whoever's developing these CDMs (each individual site I'd assume?) suddenly invest the resources into providing Linux versions?

Google owns this company: http://www.widevine.com

Which already has a linux plugin. That is why they are pushing for the standard as well.
