DRM in web browsers is anything but standard.

Edge uses PlayReady, Chrome uses Widevine, Safari uses FairPlay, etc.

As a content producer, you have to get licenses to use each of those technologies and run servers for them separately. It's anything but standard.

Firefox supports the same Google Widevine DRM as Chrome, so YouTube's choice of DRM system should not be an issue.

It is unacceptable.
