> What would you say if Netflix called their bluff and just fired all the people that walked out?

It is explicitly legal.

The people they terminate would even be ineligible for unemployment benefits since they admitted to slacking off at work, easily substantiating a termination for cause (and hence saving a Netflix some money by keeping their unemployment insurance premiums lower).
