I think the "need" comes from the content owners, who refuse to license their material to services that don't implement a form of DRM that they approve of.

Poppycock.

If I were unwilling to come to work unless I was to get €1,000,000 per day and the system wasn't set up to do that, then I would have to stay at home all day. I would have no right to insist that just because I find the current system unsuitable that it should be changed.

And if you were unwilling to consume content unless you were to get it without any technical measures to enforce the terms on which it is offered and the system wasn't set up to do that, then you would just have to do without the content. You would have no right to insist that just because you find their current business model unsuitable that it should be changed.
