This sound scaring, but we have been working around DRM shit since it's invention if I recall... Should we still be alarmed?

Yes absolutely. Your hardware has built in DRM capabilities. Modern CPUs basically have a 2nd small CPU inside that runs proprietary code and manages the primary CPU, and it also handles DRM.

That isn't something you can easily work around.
