It seems everything the author is concerned about would be solved it there were a centrally/open-source managed, non-profit, DRM out there. The DRM which would be analogous to SSH.

So one thing I've never understood: Is this really not technically possible or is the problem that the people who have the knowhow to create that are ideologically opposed?

There is open DRM (e.g. OMA) but companies that are using DRM as an excuse for lock-in will never adopt it.
