this is good, but it would also be helpful if you supported the anti DRM movement. Some people have developed ways to get around certain DRM such was Widevine, from dumping your own CDM to Widevine proxy. Just ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away. Over the last two years DRM use for streaming content has increased significantly. If you want to really help, I would look into contributing code to these projects, or donations.
It does nothing to dissuade content gatekeepers from employing restrictive DRM on their sites.
Anti-DRM would be avoiding anything that gives money to those that employ DRM to incentivize the removal of the DRM. Frankly, flat out piracy (streaming ripped content) is more likely to result in the removal of DRM than making it appear that the DRM is working well for the provider.
There are sites that commercially distribute DRMed video content; say, Netflix. They have a large audience, and they care, whether me and you like it or not.
Am I missing anything?

All other configurations use L3 which is a shared key, e.g. provided by ChromeCDM as it runs entirely on the CPU - which is why Netflix content also works under Linux, albeit L3 is limited to 720p (or 1080p with browser extensions).
Given Chrome's massive browser market share, I'm not sure whether enabling DRM adds anything meaningful to the fingerprint - i.e. I don't think it's possible to revoke an L3 key without pushing out a new version of the CDM to all users of that browser, as has happened once before with Chrome.
FWIW I've tested Widevine L3 decryption works using a ”headless” docker container running Chrome. The only caveat to add is that Chrome must not be started with --headless, but you don't need a real GPU either, Xvfb works just fine.
Blaming humans for desiring privacy is bad. No one here is "trying to behave like a bot".
Exaggerated example: "Oh, you don't want to show me, a random stranger on the internet, your ID? You are behaving like a crook!"
and there seems to be significant overlap between the people who think enabling bots is morally wrong, and people who think fingerprinting is morally wrong. if you value privacy, you have to value privacy for all web users even before you've collected enough data to determine whether that web user is a real person or not.
