I also wonder that about any audio/video DRM, but like most things it's probably something that is agreed upon in the many licenses that they'll protect the copyrighted material to their best ability. Even though everybody knows it's pointless and even ends up being a nuisance for some legit use cases like this story. Just reminds me of years ago when building websites for clients they always wanted me to block right clicks and put a transparent image over a jpeg so people can't right click/save even though I told them it does nothing against people who want to copy the image. "But it's a bigger hurdle to do so!" well, not really.
