Blame Macrovision, not Tivo
Tivo has done this because they have to, in order to keep to ability to record PPV and other premium items that are protected using Macrovision.
Macrovision has changed it's terms stating that items protected by macrovision cannot be kept except under the rules layed out by the content provider
for Tivo, this means they either
1) Allow DRM for Macrovision encoded shows
2) Lose the ability to record Macrovision shows
The wider DRM we've seen is indeed a bug in the content protection detection logic, which should have never got out the door, but it's a different issue to why Tivo was forced to include such a DRM scheme
