I’m assuming the post is actually about DRM operating at ring 0. That’s not really root level though. That’s kernel level. Root is still operating in user-mode and politely asking the kernel to interact with hardware.
I did some more reading on this, and it apparently isn’t due to DRM, its about an update to ToS that occurred in April. The update expands data collection for advertising and forced-arbitration. Arguably that’s worse than kernel-level DRM. DRM can be ripped, legal shenanigans can’t.
Sure, but it also seems like it’s data that you offer up via a 2K account, which I don’t have. I have a user name tied to my Steam ID, and that’s about it.

But it doesn’t have the mandatory kernel level disclaimer either.

You think that will stop this from spreading like cancer?
