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.

"Hey record labels, now instead of taking two clicks to create digital rips of your music, it takes a whole two clicks!" ???

I actually don't think that would stand in a court of law. There was nothing to circumvent. It does not "effectively control access to a work".

This has nothing to do with the CFAA; that's about "hacking", not DRM. The relevant law is the DMCA which uses the wording I quoted. But I'm not in the US anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
