I think the biggest reason they are losing subscribers is they have reached near 100% market penetration.
(1) There are 75 million Netflix subscribers in the US and Canada [1]
(2) Netflix alleges that 30 million subscribers in the US and Canada are sharing their accounts with another household* [2]
(3) There are 133 million households in the US and Canada [3], [4]
Thus, if those 30 million shared US/CA accounts are added to the 75 million current subscribers, you reach 105 million. That is almost 80% of all households. It is unrealistic to go beyond 90% of households. Thus, they NEED to stop password sharing to prevent cannibalization within the US.
* A note: that sharing isn't always with ANOTHER household. It could be multiple members of the same household.
