Mozilla opposed EME very strongly. But when it was clear that Google, Microsoft and Apple all supported it and were shipping it, Mozilla was forced to ship it as well (with a flag that makes it easy to disable for users that want to).

> Mozilla was forced to ship it as well

If anybody was forcing them, it were the media companies.

Google is also a media company. (Microsoft too, though Xbox isn't especially relevant here.)

EDIT: Yes, and Apple, I completely forgot about iTunes.

Surely we can count Apple among media companies as well.
