This is reminiscent of the dichotomy of well structured software versus copy protection/cracking -- software development thrives in clear organization and separation of concerns, but so does cracking (i.e. having a single function take care of all license management will make it crackable in minutes). So software devs who want good DRM are forced to employ arcane obfuscation and back-handed tactics, sometimes at the detriment of the functionality and repairability of the software. I guess that's part of why we can't have good things...
