Now you're the one being literal. Feel free to substitute "work anywhere" for "run anywhere" in my previous comment since we're referring to a bunch of design and branding and not literal code.
I understand it's a problem, I think it's quite hard, I appreciate that Netflix does a reasonable job, I still don't think your joke works the way you think it does.
Let me break it down further and attempt to fix it so I can perhaps disabuse you of the notion that I'm so far out on the spectrum I'm incapable of communicating effectively or understanding humor (way to slander "techies" by the way, your "design thinking" superiority complex is showing).
You said:
"My favorite example for this problem is Netflix. You could restore a BlackBerry from 2005 that you found at a pawn shop and it would probably have a Netflix app on it."
A version that actually works as a "joke" - aside, I hate the use of that word here, since it's an insult to the craft (1):
"Netflix has to work anywhere - their design is so consistent, flexible and ubiquitous it would have worked on on a BlackBerry from 2005... in screen reader mode."
