You're ignoring the analysis that Disney+ seems to be blocking use entirely at the lower "security level" assessed by Widevine. It would not take significant time or effort for them to change the threshold value if it were something they considered broken. It seems prudent at this point to avoid becoming a paying customer until they address it, if you care about this sort of thing.

To me that sounds like a complicated change with significant potential business impacts. Have they signed contracts already where this kind of security is ambiguous? Does changing the flag actually solve the issues on all devices or do other issues present, since they have been untested? Testing must happen post-change, I would imagine. The issue still sounds complex to me. I use Linux and I want Disney+ to support it, obviously. But I don't see Disney as being in the wrong here (yet) - they're potentially just working on the issue before release. We'll see, I guess.

Chrome on Windows only supports Level 3 too, and it works there. (The article incorrectly assumes Level 1 is lower than Level 3. Level 1 is the highest security level, not the lowest.)
