I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

We do not decide what is right and what is wrong.

But you don't accept our drm do you're wrong.

The word "intend" comes up quite a bit around this topic.

Fixed - thank you.

it says something about "spoofing identity" which raises a good question. If this does happen, how difficult would it be to just lie about your client environment with a spoofer of some sort?

It would be difficult. Your operating system, the browser, and the website's code would have to be compliant to pass the WEI check

Let's say you use a non-compliant OS (linux), or a non-chromium browser, or use userscripts, in all three cases you are locked out of the website.
