Eh, I'm not sure that I consider controlling access to their servers the same as DRM. The lack of LAN multiplayer is bad, but is GOG responsible for that?

  From what I can tell, the original retail release had support for LAN play, direct connections, and various third-party server browser options, all of which they removed so they could lock multiplayer behind a DRM wall that requires the GOG Galaxy client.

    Right, but the game wasn't released by, or even exclusively on GOG; it's also on Steam, for example. So I doubt the decision was theirs. And while it may suck, I don't think it can be considered DRM.
