Normies don't even know what DRM is.

Sure, they don't know what DRM is. But when it misfires and hits them, they still ask their techie friend for help, and techie friend is going to have an easier and happier time creating a new pirate then providing free tech support for DRM.

The end result of more DRM has always been more piracy. The only thing that has ever cut back in piracy was highly responsive cheap streaming services.
