Direct rendering infrastructure in Linux predates widespread use of "digital rights management" as a term of art by about two or three years. "We were here first," as the saying goes. That said, the specific concept of direct rendering managers is a little newer, and probably was a mistake on its own merits, regardless of the name.

True. As corporate goes, take a good product name that exists in the wild, bury it with your own shitty product, best case you get to kill two products for the price of one (eg.: Google with "Gemini").
