Amazing. Proprietary video codecs need to not be the default and this is huge validation for AV1 as a production-ready codec.

Why does it matter if Netflix is using an open standard if every video they stream is wrapped in proprietary closed DRM?

I am not sure if this is a serious question, but I'll bite in case it is.

Without DRM Netflix's business would not exist. Nobody would license them any content if it was going to be streamed without a DRM.

I don't agree. If people refused to watch DRM-protected content, they would get rid of it.

For example, Pluto TV is a free streaming service that has much content without DRM. GOG lets you buy DRM-free games. Even Netflix itself lets you stream DRM-free content, albeit in low resolution.
