>Netflix execs have been telling their screenwriters to have characters “announce what they’re doing” so that viewers who have a program on in the background can follow along without having to miss plot strands.

That's the critical bit of context, this is essentially radio you have on in the background while you do whatever.

Sometimes, I like watching the narrated movies meant for the visually impaired. It feels almost like an audiobook. Changing the content to make it more radio-like -- that's not something I'm a fan of. It's the whole "abstraction layers vs. tight coupling", except this time it's content.
