I don’t have any personal links but know that there is a constant cat-and-mouse game of cracking Widevine devices for their L1 keyboxes and using them on high-value content (as mentioned).
That’s why a lot of low end Android devices often have problems playing DRMed content on the Web: their keyboxes got cracked open and leaked wide enough for piracy that they got revoked and downgraded down to L3.
