That's because Netflix hasn't forced Microsoft, Google and Apple to enable these blocks on their OSes and browsers...for now.


They absolutely have, Windows, Android and Apples platforms all have the concept of "secure" framebuffers which appear as black rectangles if you attempt to screenshot or record them. Netflix and similar will only serve you high res video if your system supports that protection amongst others, otherwise they'll restrict you to something like 720p.


I think Chrome gives back black screens if you try to do so.
