the publishers want it?
Why does Spotify even try to use Widevine DRM? I can literally just open up Audacity and have it record bit-perfect digital audio off the PulseAudio monitor device. Two clicks. Why do they even bother?

This. Spotify couldn't give the faintest of tosses about the real-world efficacy of the DRM. It's just to appease the record labels.

Sure but it. Does. Nothing. Literally. This is so easy to bypass it's not even funny. You don't need hacks, you don't need specialized software, literally all you need to do is hit "record".

Because you're in 1% of the people, who can understand what to do on top off their head, in 15-20% who can google this and do it and in 70-80% who would even understand what you just said fully. People are lazy, minimal barriers will stop 90%

But all I did was open an audio recording app and selected "record the stuff my computer plays". This is end-user trivial stuff. And it would be equally easy without the DRM, not any easier.

Although easy to record. Does it embed some kind of watermark to track it back to the app/account that leaked it? Bit like they do in movies these days

That's certainly the approach I would take, rather than push crappy/broken DRM (which is broken by design), tag and track serious leaks and prosecute the sources (this is what Ilfak does with IDA Pro), problem is that isn't 'fix & forget'.

Because on Windows they use protected audio stream. Similar thing with Netflix.

What's the point of attempting to secure one platform and not others?
