no. drm will still be an add-on, just like it is today. The DRM add-on will just change from flash/silverlight.

DRM is a very real thing in todays web.

Flash is not an add-on, but a plugin. And there is a good reason why plugins have a bad image and browser developers and users prefer to get rid of them.

Watch Netflix, the champion of "HTML5 DRM", go back to a plugin in order to use P2P streaming within the next 18 months.

P2P streaming can be built on top of WebRTC fairly easily.
