A big problem is that the FSF is living in the 2000s when the TPM was the biggest worry, from Microsoft's ill-fated NGSCB.
While DRM sucks, streaming companies have a reason to use it: you don't own the content and they don't want people to slipstream content. And yes, I know pirate sites slipstream anyways.
The FSF needs to move on to newer problems, like Google Play Integrity API and modding. Or the fact that iPhones/Huawei/Verizon devices don't allow third-party OSes. Or how about preventing addictive ad-ridden feeds, that would be big.
