If this DRM can force you to use Chromium to display a webpage or content, that would be the most anticompetitive thing in recent times, and would absolutely not fly.
That's why they want to make it a web standard, so they can just blame Firefox and others for not following the standard and avoid EU fines.
That's what Microsoft did with their office document standard.
I doubt the EU would buy that.
If it's an actual official web standard, they might have to.
"Official" web standards huh?
