Fully agree. I think the focus of the effort should be to lobby the 2 browser vendors that are driving this DRM effort, Google and Microsoft (see 'Editors' section on https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/raw-file/tip/encrypted-med... ).

The only way to stop this DRM proposal is to have it not be implemented in browsers. The only way to stop that is to convince Google and Microsoft to stop pushing it.
