A major DRM scheme is Widewine, controlled by no other than Google. So you have Google which is a browser vendor, an OS vendor and DRM gatekeeper. Even if as you say Netflix is fine with competing browsers/players, as long as they use Widewine they put everyone else at the mercy of Google's decisions. This is absolutely anti-user, anti-competitive madness. Mozilla pushed back as long as possible but had to give up.
