The main point the original comment made was that their "groundbreaking achievement" was their storage and streaming... which isn't really their achievement.
Netflix's technical achievement of DRM is Microsoft's god awful silverlight bs.
Their achievement was being first and showing what streaming could have been. Now that all the big companies have divided off into their own direction, Netflix had to rely on their own content. And Netflix's original content has become hollow, hype-bait, and frustrating.
