I think length is not the right issue IMO.
Creatively, dramas should have a clear story to tell. If that is 1 hour, or 100 hours, that is ok. But stopping unexpectedly halfway through is bad.
An easy way for netflix to help is to say "every story on Netflix has an ending." Which has marketing value and still allows creative freedom, and actually would appeal to creators more.
In practice, this means "you can't tease a next season that has not been approved yet" OR "you can end on a cliffhanger and is show is authorized for a 1 hour wrap up episode of the next season is cancelled".
