Browsers want to get rid of Flash and other plugins. Netflix was the largest site using Flash. Netflix distributes content, and the content owners aren&#x27;t willing to have their content distributed.<p>I don&#x27;t disagree with what you say, but it&#x27;s possible to see EME as a pragmatic inevitability, assuming that browsers want to get rid of plugins (which seems like a good change) and assuming that content owners demand DRM (which makes less sense to tech-minded people).
