There seems to be lots of confusion of what EME is because people bring up images, text and games. First of all, EME is targeted to video and, to less extent, music streaming. Streaming video content to web browsers is, currently, a mess. There are many DRM schemes and each does its own crazy shit to try and make it work on everyone's browser. It's also expensive. So expensive that only big companies will target big platforms. Also, EME doesn't affect only web browsers, it also affects SmartTVs which are limited to a few DRM products. What EME and CENC try to achieve is to add simplicity to this process and for open source products to be able to compete with closed source ones. Even small DRM products are moving on this direction because it's impossible for them to target all platforms. On this regard, even an open source DRM scheme could be achieved and compete. DRM, EME and CENC will happen, and this only hurts open source products like Linux and Firefox. But it will happen.
