High quality captures are still possible if you connect an external capture device coupled with something that provides the necessary drm authentication or you need a software based drm defeat.
Neither are “trivial” as you say.

If you don't want to use some cheap product from amazon, just run Netflix in a desktop VM. Both of these options are very trivial to implement, no complicated software bypass at all. Also remember that for piracy to occur, you only need one person to go to this very small level of effort to get a torrent uploaded. These protections are useless, and achieve nothing other than bothering legitimate users. Also, here's a screenshot I just took of a Netflix show (it's 1080p, but still...) https://imgur.com/a/evJjf06 https://imgur.com/a/evJjf06
