Indeed, there are various kinds of resistance from font vendors. I
met many of them at Atypi in St Petersburg last year. Some object to
all forms of web-based distribution, some want strong DRM, some want a
token technical barrier, and some say that TTF/OTF will work fine
(given the right license terms).

Personally, I think that license terms is a better enforcer that
technical means, but I'm also open for a technical solution:
