Good luck selling that in a box with the Blu-ray and DVD logos on the side.
UMMS -- and by extension MeeGo TV and Tizen TV -- is designed for use in real products for use by real people. The spiritual ancestor of UMMS is being deployed in a number of set-top boxes right now.
Anyway, UMMS's DRM support mainly involves hitting the right hardware registers so that the hardware decoders kick in.

Why is another abstraction framework required to accommodate DRM/Blu-ray/DVD ?
Other people seem to have no problem doing these things (DRM, DVD) with existing frameworks (in a commercial context, conforming to the various licenses etc.).
