This is exactly the point that I believe MRT is trying to make. They are saying that Windows or OSX can be used as a circumvention device to circumvent other people's copyrights protection measures. They are not saying that they are worried about people circumventing Microsoft's or Apple's protections on their own copyrights.
I have not read the DMCA, but it would seem that their interpretation is way, way too broad. The aforementioned technologies do not really work that way out of the box since they require some work on the user's part plus additional software or hardware inputs to use them to circumvent. Also, they also have overwhelming non-infringing uses. So, saying that they are circumvention products is an incredible stretch. By the same logic, they could attack Dell for making general purpose computers or Intel for making general purpose CPU's.
