No user is being forced into using this. I haven't really followed this argument from the beginning. Philosophically I despise DRM, but pragmatically as long as it isn't forced on users as the only option, then I don't see any issue with an extension having that option being available.

Or use a free and open source browser that doesn't implement it. If this is something people want to take a principled stance against, those browsers will doubtlessly continue to exist.
Unless you're referring the content access. That's a general trend with technology that likely won't be stopped. If you choose not to use certain technologies, it's unsurprising that you won't be granted access to certain things.
Not being able to play protected content (which you couldn't in the first place without installing Flash or another proprietary plugin) is a far cry from being locked out of the web.
No user (statistically speaking) even knows what EME is nor what EME (and DRM in general) implies. It says a lot about the morals and intentions of an industry when they are so quick to exploit that ignorance.
