No. The changes that are happening only affect DRM. So it means that when you watch a video/audio in the browser, there will be some encryption applied deep within the browser.
But it is a paradigm shift in the sense that it is the first time that a change is introduced in HTML that restricts the user from accessing the actual content that is being displayed.
Effectively, similar changes to the standard could be introduced to prevent users from tinkering with ads, or to prevent users from opting out of data collection.
In that sense, it opens the way to your browser being more like your phone.
Again, it's not _bad_ in itself, but it is a paradigm shift.
