I can certainly see the Kindle app hurting from this, because people are used to being able to buy books from their Kindle. However, I do think that most people are savvy enough to realize they can open Safari and browse to Amazon.com to order books. I hardly think that Netflix will be effected, though. Sure, it means they cannot include a sign-up link for the Netflix service, but that's a one-time deal, and every other Netflix-ready device I own requires you to go on the web some other way to get a Netflix account. The iPad will be no different if Apple has their way. I think that Apple understands this, and realizes that they have nothing to gain by strong-arming Netflix, Nook, and Kindle.
