While I'm glad they are speaking up against it, I don't believe that it will change anything. If Google decides to implement it, it will just end up exactly like it did with WC3 EME, as summarized in this the 2014 article from if I'm not mistaken a Mozilla dev:
Which is why we have government bodies. As usual, it will probably be the EU to castrate g**gle in the future.
EME was a bit different. Hollywood media was already encrypted. Even on DVD. They required encryption for streaming. To this day it's the only sector that really uses EME. Other streaming media doesn't even bother.
