Because it is still unclear if this is an official project requested by Google or just some engineers working alone until Google adopts the project.

    This is exactly something an engineer who works at Google would want to work on, finding new ways to enrich Google is literally their job and there would be great personal benefit from coming up with the best way to implement this DRM crap for profit
