I thought the same thing when I read this: "[...] in which all the stuff we want comes from one source at one price. Forget about it. That world isn't coming. The hidden lesson of Netflix's fall from grace is that content markets will remain fragmented." As you point out, that's simply not true, thanks to piracy. Not only can I find "all the stuff [I] want [...] from one source at one price", but that price is free (with the exception of site donations I guess). Not having to deal with DRM and the resulting uncertainty of ownership and crippled access from all devices, incomplete libraries, poor/uncertain quality and unreasonable prices are all icing on the cake. Netflix could be to movies and tv shows what iTunes is to music and Steam is to games, but the content owners are fighting that every step of the way. Sadly, Netflix doesn't seem to have the power to push the content owners around like Apple does.
