It's not far fetched.
I know that listening too loud will damage my hearing. Therefore, any limit put on my player is useless to me and an inconvenience.
They assume everyone is dumb enough to crank the volume and damage their hearing. This is not the case. There are many people who are smart enough to not do so. These people are put at a disadvantage as a result of ignorant people.
Everyone is inconvenienced because of the actions of a few. That's where the comparison of DRM and volume limiting came in.
