That is an untested assertion with no supporting evidence. The only reason studios get to strongarm providers like Netflix into using DRM is that specific providers like Netflix are happy to accommodate.

AFAIK, DRM inherently must be closed source. In order to implement DRM for the open web, you must circumvent the open web, or (in this case) sway those who implement that open standard (web browsers) to include your binaries.
