Netflix and Steam don't have a lot in common outside of being a platform for their respective media

Netflix and Stadia (or something like Xbox game pass) are more comparable in my opinion

It's not a direct comparison on purpose. Steam offers a service for relatively low cost and a fairly good user experience. Pirates have difficulties providing the same.

Netflix has a much lower bar on providing that service.

I don't think Stadia has much options for pirates.
