Play Netflix, etc at 4K.

Yes, and that is netflix's limitation. Nothing to do with Linux in itself.

It's a drawback of open source systems. Without the coffee protection in place, rightsholders are unwilling to let you have their best stuff.
Which means ironically the only way to watch at good quality is to torrent it...

Which is often better than streaming anyway

Yeah, Netflix appears to be about 2-3GB an hour at "4K". And that's for Stranger Things, which is arguably their top content. If it's not their own stuff, it's rarely higher than 1080p anyway. Audio is always just regular lossy Dolby Digital.
Not hard to beat that, tbh.

Nothing is ever a Linux problem: lack of drivers, lack of HDR, lack of Netflix, etc. Everyone else is the problem, Linux - never!
Grow up, kiddo.

There is a difference between "not putting the work in to make it run on Linux" vs. "actively preventing it to run on Linux"
Netflix DRM is an example of the latter, just like Epic disabling their Linux-support in EAC for Fortnite.

Netflix runs on Linux though. When using Android TV for example. So you're wrong, it's a Linux problem.
