Access to a standard shouldn't require a 3rd party, EME changes that.


Saying that EME is the first time a web standard defines an interface with a (proprietary) 3rd party is far fetched. The <object> element (and thus plugin architecture) has been in the HTML standard for times immemorial.

Now, we can discuss about whether a plugin architecture is a desirable thing or not, whether EME has any additional value over the existing plugin arch, etc. Might even be a more fruitful debate than the current one, too.
