It's not a property of DRM, it is a consequence which can happen in other circumstances with any obfuscation systems, even a simple base64 or rot13. It's why I'm saying it's unrelated. It's not a very good axis of discussion. 

I agree with you that it makes it a lot of easier to hinder access but the same way for people with accessibility issues or not, the people with non technical competences, the people with historical/archival needs, etc. These are the well-known social issues of DRMs, and it's why I'm against them.
