Nobody cares about DAB radio – so let's force it onto smart speakers, suggests UK govt review

WTF?

Sorry, why is this about DAB?

DAB is just a means of delivering content to listeners. Smart speakers won’t be forced to include DAB hardware, all they’ll need to do is stream internet radio, which most if not all stations broadcasting on DAB do anyway. So what it comes down to is not “force the users to listen to evil DAB”, but rather “make internet radio available to anyone who wants it on their devices”.
