That isn't wild speculations.

All Non-Apple Lighting Cables require a official chip from Apple. So Tim Cook might say that DRM is wild speculation it is actually happening now with all their cables.

So in order to buy a adapter I MUST buy a cable with a chip from Apple that makes it authorized.

EDIT : I guess EFF are wild speculators?

"To its credit, Apple has been adamant it won’t use the new design to restrict your listening experience. But therein lies the problem: you shouldn’t have to depend on a manufacturer’s permission to use its hardware however you like (or, for that matter, to build your own peripherals and accessories for it)."

Currently "it’s impossible to connect a speaker or other audio device to an iPhone without Apple software governing it"

Yea, I do think that they are wild speculators. Just because I believe in some of their causes doesn't mean they can do no wrong. I think that they tend to go to more of an extreme than I'm comfortable with. But I think it's understandable because when they fight for freedom and what have you, they face opposition from people and businesses that shapes their opinion of them. This means that they become more partisan and fight against these 'rivals' instead - which is not wrong - but it's too political for me.
