Why?

Well all that doesn't matter if they're never really intending to use the data to catch bad guys

This isn't really about security at all, it's all just a security theatre, a show for the crowd. It wont help them catch bad guys.

The philosophy governing Gmail and the philosophy governing mutt is quite different. This isn't a question of either program being better than the other, but a question of using the right tool for the job.

Gmail isn't sluggish, but of course it does take a while for a new web page to load. If this is a problem to you, then another email client may suit your needs better, I would guess Gmail supports using POP and IMAP for excactly this reason.

Actually, there is. Without DRM support in the OS, you wont be able to play DRM-protected media. Want to buy Blu-ray discs? Sorry, not possible because the OS is missing DRM-support.

DRM support in the OS is not stopping you from playing back non-DRM files, ie. your pirated Blu-ray rips will play just fine, so will everything else. You can rip your CDs and DVDs like before, no problem.

So in fact, DRM support is giving you a CHOICE.
