> bundling unnecessary [...] closed source DRM plugin without user permission

Not making including a plugin required for a top 50 site would be user hostile, and I will die on this hill.

This is exactly the thing everyone else in the thread is pointing out as the issue, complaints from FOSS-or-nothing folks expecting to be catered to at the expense of the other (probably) 99% of potential users. The fact that it's even a plugin at all (that you can disable!), rather than an integrated part of the browser, is them already catering to that. Firefox already caters to this niche a ton, and nothing is good enough.
