This is more like eliminating outdated unsafe DRM.

As a commenter over there suggested, you could always use "a modified executable from the Internet".

The purpose of DRM is not security although it can be sold like that.

I'm struggling to see what is safer about a modded exe.

I'm similarly struggling to see the value in breaking old games because new versions exist.
