If they don't call it Green Lizard Enterprise Linux I'll be disappointed.

You want a disgusting AI generated content mess? Because that's how you get a disgusting AI generated content mess.
You say that like demolition and building a new structure aren't fucking expensive. Old buildings are reused for new things all the time.
While I'm generally opposed to defederation as a general rule, I'm also old enough to have suffered through Microsoft's Embrace Extend Extinguish paradigm. Never again. Absolutely no federation with megacorp instances.
Lol motivation to whom? And yes, it shouldn't be part of the standard. It shouldn't be a thing. But all of FAANG are DRM enthusiasts, so it's not going anywhere unfortunately. Best you'll be able to do is use a browser that doesn't display content served by FAANG and friends.
No, I've seen no plans to expand DRM on YouTube but the paid videos have been DRM from the start, so they very much have the software internally in place to do it. And third party apps using a YouTube-dl backend provide a workaround against ad blocker bans so if they're serious about this....
There are tools to record mediocre quality video from Netflix (flixgrab) and there is an exploit that the scene groups use to nab webdls but there's nothing quality for normal users.
Which will provide the motivation to enable DRM the whole platform.
No, when they decide to end yt-dl (and similar tools) they will just enable DRM on all videos, rather than just the pay-per-view videos. The infrastructure already exists for Netflix-like DRM on YouTube. If they are serious about cracking down on ad blocking then it is a matter of time before they throw that switch.
