They forced SD resolution to appease technophobes who were crying Netflix was wasting bandwidth on ‘unnecessary entertainment’ while they were having trouble with their ‘necessary video meetings’. Which of course was a limitation of bandwidth across the internet while Netflix mostly uses local bandwidth, they try to stream from machines on the ISP networks because it saves them a ton of money. After about a month this was reversed. In the meantime it’s possible they have switched compression standards or settings which you may have noticed. But the covid limitations should be long gone. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en_gb/ https://openconnect.netflix.com/en_gb/
