What's obvious about that?

Hardware players are likely to have a Flash ROM or EEPROM anyway, so 
it's no technical problem to equip each individual player with a unique key.

And as for motivating manufacturers to do that, it might be a 
requirement of the license agreement they had to sign to implement 
BlueRay technology in the first place.

Software players, OTOH, typically seem to share a common Device Key for 
all installations of a particular player version.

At least that's what I read between the lines of the article.
