It's not about turning OTA into a subscription service. It's about taking control of which devices are allowed to view OTA channels. It's about taking control away from the end-user in terms of what they can do with the signal that they record with their equipment. Privately sending that video to wherever I am physically located? Not if they don't say you can.

It's disgusting, and the FCC should be ashamed for not flatly rejecting encryption on OTA channels in all its forms.
