Different browsers support different DRMs with EME. As of today, 4
different EME-compatible DRMs are known: a different one for each
major browser. Paying for the licenses and operation of four different
DRM servers seems like an endeavor that sites would not embark on just
because things are available. Rather, it seems more likely that
deployment will be driven by business requirements from suppliers
(studios or record labels; yes, *subscription* music still comes under
DRM). But still, indeed, it is possible that EME-style DRM ends up
increasing the use of DRM compared to NPAPI-style DRM. We don't know
yet.
