Now the board can look at this they can take to Congress. They can wave it around and say “See, look, we’re taking responsibility. “We’re doing the right thing, etc. blah blah blah blah blah blah.

First, I agree. Even today a lot of games have 'anti-cheat' modules that will hook into the kernel.
And yes, Microsoft wants to lock down the kernel as a result.
But, that is one step closer to the future from "The right to read".
Locking down kernels is somewhere in the story IIRC; it's just that instead of in the name of DRM it's now for Security... But as we've seen from stuff like the 'Web Attestation' proposal from last year, they'll take choice away whichever way is most marketable to lobbyists.
