It's a little frustrating how difficult it is for the HN community (taken overall) to understand that their preferences aren't universal. I think there's a really interesting conversation to be had here about intentional or unintentional dark patterns, and where the line is between filling the user's needs and steering their activity for the company's benefit. But it's muddled by the fact that half the conversation is "I have this specific preference and Netflix is obviously evil or incompetent for not adhering to it, other users be damned". (To be clear, this isn't direct criticism of the GP comment, which is high-quality overall)
