This is true. But the same is true if DRM Dave makes snow globes that play a CC-licensed song. Nobody else can put derivatives (or anything at all) on this sort of snow globe--simply because Dave is the one with the manufacturing plant. Why is this not a platform monopoly of this troubling sort?
To address an earlier point, I am not sure that an undocumented pinout constitutes a TPM:

To return to why this isn't a "platform" monopoly; the snow globe isn't a "platform", it is a single-use device. Or it is distribution media with a single-use device attached.
As long as Snow Globe Sam doesn't try to restrict your use rights over the distributed media they are not restricting your Freedom any more than the manufacturer of a paperback book or a vinyl record are.
