As long as streaming is available on all the devices I wish to use it on (that used to include Linux, but nowadays it's not my "daily driver"), then I'm okay with transparent DRM for streaming or rentals, too.

If a platform has to be explicitly supported in a supposedly cross-platform standard, then the details on how to implement that must be published or the standard is no longer cross platform.
With this move, Linux is no longer "supported" on a web wholly built on it. That's completely fucked up.
DRM is fundamentally incompatible with the web. Let's not give it any reason to think it belongs here.
