I DON'T use Kodi to access content on the internet and I don't want to. You will alienate the "normal" users who have just been using Kodi as a player and not some portal to content (one might say, the ones who have been doing the right thing all along).

As already noted, for those people who use Kodi this way, there should be no obvious difference. Kodi won't be shipping any DRM binaries and default installed addons. It will just make it slightly easier to install addons that use DRM.

Fair enough, thanks. Gracus used the term "integration" which I misunderstood. So, the basic answer to the OP's concern is that "digital restrictions" are not to be added to core Kodi, just potentially made available in add-ons to be installed or not as the user chooses.

Pretty much.
