“DRM” means “digital rights management” in this context; it has little to do with the choice of AC or DC power. What acronym did you interpret it as?

DRM as you used it. There is no DRM AFAIK that works on AC power. It needs binary and that needs at least a transformer.

I interpreted their point to mean; if the device doesn't have any DC voltages inside, it's not running transistors or micro-contollers; the D in DRM; i.e. "no smarts".

No smarts, means no DRM.
