@The-Spec, the government don't have to pay people to weaken standards, the human link in the chain is often the /root/ cause of the problem. Look what happened when Geohot announced hacking the PS3, sony promptly announced its next generation of consoles would be Linux unfriendly. 
As for them being threatened and bowing to pressure I doubt that, one of there primary customers are Government departments, it's all Windows (TM) Networking behind those firewalls.
They would have done it more to win over decision makers with money! It's a cute anti-feature.
I would hazard a guess they need to sway the big contracts worth $'000'000 with how neat there product is, complete with all that DRM. It's what makes them all that Money.
