Point for me is, that with a DRM you could 100% verify that foreign module Y is 100% from company Z. Or that binary product F is 100% from the company and can be trusted to run here or there.
I think the major problem with DRM is the negative vibration it bringts with its very stupid use in all kind of Mass Media Music/Movie industry. Which is in a kind of ultimate end-of-its-days panic.
