    Netflix being older is hardly relevant to this discussion.

    Maybe you’re unaware, but the higher quality streams are only available on devices netflix has certified. You can still use netflix on GrapheneOS but you won’t get that quality, it’ll be downgraded.

    This is a common problem for cheaper Chinese devices as well.

      What would have happened if Google never created an attestation system for Android? Would Netflix give up such a large market?

      Netflix can downgrade Chinese phones that aren’t common in the west and third-party ROMs because those represent a tiny fraction of their potential customer base. I doubt they’d be inclined to do so for all of Android.

        Who said anything about Netflix giving up a market, they just offer a worse service. But hey, iPhones offer a premium service, right?
