in that tweet you ask the question:
"Prompt to download DRM wrapped in a proprietary platform and no one bats an 
eye. Remove the platform wrapper and everyone loses their minds."

we've been over the answer time and again on this list...

There's a major difference between:
- supporting a legacy api that has been abused to provide drm and that's on 
the way out anyway, and
- supporting a brand new api that is going to be used for nothing but DRM
