Adopting DRM was something the PC mfgs *wanted* because it allowed them to legally play DVDs (and now HD/BD) on their products and increase their market as a result. If all the graphics vendors in the world had agreed to boycott DRM no matter what the cost that might have kept DVD playback and DRM off PCs, but even then the outcome would just have been more portable DVD players (which have had DRM from day one) and fewer PCs with DVD drives.
Content providers would not be affected, but PC users and PC mfgs would lose.
