"Which, BTW, is exactly what would happen if we succeeded in outlawing DRM on PCs."
"Customers wouldn't bat an eye either..."
So what's the problem then?
Customers come first, right?
If they are happy, then what's the problem?
Why force commercial content into the so-called "general purpose" web browser? The way you describe your negotiations I get the impression that scare tactics, e.g., piracy, are being used as leverage.
What are you hoping to achieve?
Also, it is interesting how you transitioned from DRM in a browser to "DRM on PCs". This is a much broader question.
Is the only purpose of a personal computer to run a web browser?
Is the only purpose of the internet "the web"?
Is the only use of a network to transfer commercial content?
