There's a tremendous range of applications that have nothing to do with media. And there's a lot of media that is not now released under DRM and there will continue to be a lot of it. Every paragraph of your reply except one mentions DRM! If you see the entire issue of open computing platforms as one and the same with DRM, then you're not going to be able to properly and comprehensively address issues of equal and open access to computing.
