I don't think they have enough self produced shows to make it worthwhile pumping just that content all over the world. People pay because they want the whole lot. Probably easier for Netflix to cut them off, rather than try and sell them a lesser product. As an aside, I think 'Netflix Original' is a bit of a misleading title. Most of the Netflix Original shows (at least on the UK version) weren't actually Netflix 'originals'.
