DRM doesn't protect anything: if it runs, you can debug it and see how it works.

I don't know from what viewpoint you're constructing this fantasy about computer security and DRM.

Open source servers won. They will continue to win. Open source software is also about as far away from DRM as it is possible to be.

Are you suggesting we create closed-source operating systems and servers? That those would somehow be more secure?

Besides, why would you think I want my code protected? I'm not a kindergartener that doesn't know how to share.

DRM is inherently bad, because there is no such thing as perfect DRM and whenever you construct an argument for DRM you have to add the sort of "it's just that"s you've just written.

If you are given content to play, you should be given it in a 'perfect' format. Anything else is idiocy, because at some point it'll be played in that format anyway.

...witness the bitterness of a fanatic struggling when his deity is humiliated, lashing out with helpless rage.

What are you thinking? You can't just point out that decision-making in Silicon Valley lies with a clueless investor class.

You've got to keep the charade going: keep them writing checks and thinking their input is valuable.
