I think the key is not Firefox but Apple. If Apple does not join the DRM web future, Google cannot force it.

Unfortunately Apple has a much worse track record than Google when it comes to giving it's customers control over their own hardware and software.

Apple well support it if the web as a whole does.

Yeah, but fuck if I am ever going to use Apple products when they treat their users like dumbasses who aren't allowed to own what they buy.

Bro tried to counter Google with Apple, which is arguably worse.
