Well, to koboll's point, "quite a few Netflix original shows" has to be taken in the context of the volume of original content they have:

A ton of those are just shows that Netflix have the right to distribute.

Why bother making that distinction when Netflix doesn't themselves? If they're going to put everything they license on the same level as Stranger Things or Roma, doesn't that show that they want all those "Netflix Originals" treated the same in the eyes of viewers?
