Can somebody explain what are the practical implications of this?

Nothing will happen. People have been making the same complaints about every new crypto standard for decades, and yet here we are. TPMs are a thing, EME has been around for over a decade now, DRM on the web is as pervasive as it's ever going to get, and yet no one's user experience is any worse than it was before these technologies existed.

Yes, and I am still unable to play 4K Netflix on a PC that has been able to play 4K videos for about 7 years now.

It's permanently blocked to prevent piracy, or something, mumble, mumble...

So, no 4K Netflix on Linux (and not even 1080p without light hacks), presumably because of some incompatibility with the DRM. Still handily beats the situation that existed before. "Similar to video DRM" doesn't scare me. Mass surveillance is scarier.
