If EU wants that other media players should run in Windows,
perhaps EU would look bad the DVD-Audio spec as well.
Whoever designed the spec, it was stupid not to look around for
non-patented/non-proprietary lossless format as an alternative.
We just have to work out the suitable modification/extension to
the spec. How vdix/dvix format ended up to be a standard in DVD
video players? How mp3-discs in CD player? And how the various
copycontrol systems on CDs?

Why not? Flac + open DVD-audio format for N channels.
Do you know any DVD-A player that has a FLAC decoder built in ?
The DVD-A spec does not allow anything but MLP, or no compression,
so no manufacturer will ever make such a thing.

It was intentional, and how stupid it is depends on your perspective.
The whole DVD-A spec is closed, you have to pay some heavey money
just in order to read it. It was put together by people who think
that the CD was the worst thing that ever happened to the music
industry.

Because this is all about money, not about the interests of
consumers.
