I actually think that EME in HTML -- by narrowing the scope of the DRM part -- encourages what further use of DRM there is to be done in way which minimizes the cost of transitioning too a fully-open format (since it facilitates a model where the only non-standard piece is the DRM handling, as opposed to DRM being the lever to get high-value content into proprietary platforms.)

It really doesn't matter how standard DRM is. Who cares really if we want to get rid of it? The harder it is (making DRM for publishers and distributors), the better it is for users, since it will give more incentives to stop using it sooner. Making DRM harder to spread should be the goal, not making it easier in any way.
