Well it restricts the possible vendors. For example I just bough a Popcorn Hour A110 tha can play DRM-free DVD or DVD copied to a harddisk. I have to remove the DRM to be able to use my playing device.
You can probably not design a DRM system that does not introduce these kind of restriction of perfectly legitimate use of what you have bought.
