Netflix support for the Wii is also being discontinued:

I didn't count that one because Netflix didn't actually discontinue it -- Nintendo did. They removed all support for streaming services.

Why doesn't Netflix support Switch? If you can't answer I will accept Nintendo politics as the answer.

Given hulu is supported, it’s pretty weird. Nintendo clearly doesn’t mind streaming apps. So I assume it’s netflix that’s uninterested in the platform, not Nintendo. But I’m an outsider, this is all speculation.

No idea, that happened long after I left.

So quick sign in on your Wii and get a free roku!

That's too bad. I liked Netflix's UI better on the Wii than on any other platform I've used it on.
