On a Dell Inspiron 2 in 1 manufactured earlier this year, I was amused (but pleased) to see that the firmware was shipping with SGX disabled by default.

Doesn't Netflix support 4k on personal computers exclusively on Windows with Edge? Does that use L1?

Netflix on Edge uses Microsoft's own PlayReady 3.0 not Widevine. It does offer the same DRM level as Widevine L1 though.

Netflix has capped software DRM devices to 720p, although possibly they make exceptions depending on platform. Pretty sure PC is still at 720p cap, though (I don't use Netflix, cannot confirm).
L1 on desktops requires Intel SGX, however, I haven't ever seen this implemented in reality. If anyone has seen it, please share.
Otherwise, L1 exists only on Android and iOS, AFAIK.
The article claims that you can't record HD content from Netflix with L3 DRM. IIRC, that's false. They require L1 only for 4k content.
