While I like the mindset, I think if he truly believed this he'd release the game DRM free on GoG. Until then, this is just a cool narrative for the truth: it's not about ownership, it's about sales.
As it should be. Whether adding stuff in or taking stuff out, mods should be a way for us to individually modify a game WE bought and own to our own liking. I can see some provisions for dealing with minors, but beyond that it should be fair game.

I don't see anyone complaining about Batman and his "skin tight" leather; let alone wanting to date kitchen appliances or getting it in with an actual bear. But god forbid it's a woman (based of actual model Shin-Jae Un) and now "WAAAAA MEN HATE WOMEN! GOONER!" and the ilk.
Fire Hermen Hulst and make this guy the head of Playstation Studios. Instead of getting a new Horizon game every year, we will get a new game featuring Eve every year.
We need more based people like him in the videogame industry.
