I used to be the chief DRM guy at another large streaming service. I can say 100% that the company did not want DRM as it was unreliable and customer-unfriendly, but it was the rights-holders that were badly educated and informed and would demand it in their contracts. I would suspect that is the case at a lot of other streamers too? (the cost of the DRM was near-zero at our company)

Absolutely, I have to review contracts on almost a weekly basis, all of which say what I have to do and it's usually waaaaay worse than anyone here would want. I spend way too much time pushing back on over zealous requirements.
