The EFF wasn't pushing for "don't standardize EME". It was pushing for "add a clause to the EME standard that prevents it being abused in certain specific user-hostile ways". In particular, it would prevent it being abused to prevent actions by users that are perfectly legal under existing copyright law.
This is a complex topic with a lot of nuance to discuss, but I don't see how misrepresenting the EFF's position helps the discussion in any way.
