DRM is necessary for streaming services which want to carry movies made by the big studios. They love their DRM.

If Mozilla refused to implement DRM in Firefox, Netflix would have just said “you need Silverlight, Chrome, or the native Netflix app to watch movies”, plain and simple.

...and there would be nothing wrong with that. As late as 2011, Silverlight was needed to stream Netflix on Chrome.

It's not like FF is a major browser that needs DRM to compete against Edge/Chrome. Its market share is in the single digits regardless.
