It seems odd for HN to be in favour of making technology & content marginally less accessible simply to spite people.
Perhaps there exists a class of people who wanted to implement DRM on all of their content but were just waiting for the W3s blessing but such a class will be extremely small.
Most of the DRM you see comes from mandates from big content firms, most other people could give less of a shit.
