Why is that finding a better "thing" is considered as the only way to 
avoid W3C's recommendation of EME ?

Are retarded business models that want to be on the web more important 
than the web's users ? W3C says yes.

Of course the W3C is a community, but it has guidelines. From what I've 
understood, EME does not respect those guidelines. For example, there is 
no guideline that states "if you can't find a better solution then we 
should use this broken thing here".

EME is broken (100% of DRM so far breaks at some point), it does not 
respect the users (the users must give up control over their computing 
to use it) and mostly (because this goes against clear W3C guidelines), 
it allows "validated" websites to publish content that is not accessible 
to all.


Good day !
