Is OpenAI claiming IP rights over said image?

If yes => DRM

If no => not DRM

Yes exactly.

They make a constructive IP assertion with the watermark claim of origin that persists across mutation. (ie the "artist" signs their work)

They then quitclaim the IP assertion via TOS.

These are not equivalent rights and reversions though and now you have an IP encumbered and weird legal state because of the DRM.
