That's because its proponents got to pick the name.

Exterminators call what they do "pest management". Do you think that changes things from the cockroach's point of view? It involves him getting sprayed with poison either way.

A lot of people call DRM "Digital Restrictions Management", and it certainly could be calle "Digital Use Limitation" but that doesn't fit the TLA. It's all about taking away rights, both practical and legal, that you already have.
