The thing is, as a consumer I can't tell any difference between the technical solutions of Netflix vs Disney+, HBO Max or basically any other streaming service at this point, which proves that it's not actually that hard of a problem, at least today. I'm sure they were very innovative when they pioneered streaming but this is 2024. I'm sure their tech is better in multiple ways, but not in ways that actually lead to an edge, or is even noticeable to consumers. Now it's all about what content they have.

For comparison, I can tell a MacBook is better than a Windows laptop in 100 different ways. I can tell that the touch screen UI and self driving features in a Tesla is 15 years ahead a Toyota, but I cannot tell Netflix is better than its competitors.
