What value does "strictly speaking" bring to the discussion?
So that you don't have to address any of the issues?

Words matter? DRM means digital rights management, not simply any kind of metadata a person doesn’t like.
Yes... they do matter, perhaps using care in your understanding before attempting to nitpick?

Perhaps bother to read what you linked before being snarky?
> They are not complete DRM mechanisms in their own right, but are used as part of a system for copyright enforcement ...
Because watermarks in and of themselves are not, in fact, DRM. Even if I agree that their mass adoption by BigTech is a really bad sign for personal privacy and (eventually) freedom.

Because DRM is primarily used to ensure the content is not shared in a way the owner does not allow. That is not what SynthID is doing. All it does is allow people to know it is a generated image specifically for when it starts to be widely shared on the internet.
So strictly speaking brings a lot to the discussion when you actually think about it. Stating that DRM != SynthID is addressing issues where people seem to think that DRM == SynthID. Those people are wrong, and strictly speaking need to be corrected.
You are making a category error --
"this image made by OpenAI" is a drm assertion
You wont be able to assert copyright of the picture that you added an OpenAI red bowtie to, thats a DRM issue.
Accuracy is valuable.
