I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

Unless I want to watch from my holiday home. Or if my kids want to watch Netflix at my ex's house. Or if I travel regularly. Or I want to regularly watch Netflix with my friend or girlfriend at their house. There are numerous reports of restrictions on all of these, so they clearly are limiting the number of screens I can use.

You get a one time use PW in all those other instances. I was actually thinking about creating a shared email address with only a Netflix account associated to it so my whole family could still use it without having to pester one another about the one time use code, but at that point piracy is just easier.

I haven't heard of that. So the one time use password is used to log in and then it works fine without warnings etc?

To my knowledge yeah, it’s a one session pw.
