To be sure!—I agree with all of your points. However, we have to start somewhere, and it is something—I'd rather have an imperfect solution, as long as it stimulates a search for the perfect one, than no solution. For example, as far as I know, no common grants in mathematics carry this stipulation. (I am thinking here of the situation where it is (relatively) easy now to obtain non-DRM'd music; the initial solutions were far from perfect, but they showed that the world didn't end when they were implemented.)
