We get that, and we buried it. But we don't have to always slippery slope everything. We have taken to task and eliminated the worst offenders, Starforce, Sony Root etc. The reason why we aren't attacking steam as a overall community because it isn't intrusive, it isn't in the way for most.
You didn't get my point. Example with Sony only demonstrates the fault of the intent and invalidity of the "all are guilty by default" approach. I.e. that's what it can become (malware). Does it always become that? Not necessarily. It easily can though (with any DRM). Again - because of the intent and the core idea of DRM itself.
You said "non intrusive" DRM is better. Think about it for a minute. Going back to a police camera analogy. Obtrusive one would be some camera which sits on the obvious spot in your house and makes you think about it. I.e. kind of "scaring tactics" for preventing crime. Unobtrusive one would be some hidden camera in your house which doesn't interfere with your activities... it just secretly spies on you. I think the second is actually much worse, because you wouldn't pay attention to it and would accept it as something normal (while it's not).

A lot of users prefer DRM-free distributors like GOG, precisely because they reject DRM.
Percentage of those who reject DRM (i.e. wouldn't buy any goods with DRM) can be actually quite high as some studies show.
