Yes, it's encumbered. You are beholden, across all of your examples, to binary compatibility of a .so file Google refuses to distribute for any platform except x86_64 and 32-bit ARM. The fact that you have a lot of such devices does nothing for the people who want to either consume the content on other devices or develop new devices for the purpose.
Much like DVD region locking, the majority of the population doesn't care, and those who do are capable of overcoming the DRM anyway, but the latter is illegal, and leaves no room at all for people who want to comply with the law but not with Google's device mandates.
