This is totally arbitrary. Many Nikon cameras match those requirements but are randomly not listed.

You could use an “unapproved” camera and just overwrite the metadata. Nobody would know (unless you’re using an iPhone or something).

Canon and Sony make cine cameras. Nikon makes still cameras that happen to shoot video, but not all that well - I shoot Nikon myself, but I shoot Nikon because I want the best still cameras I can get. If I cared about video at all, I'd probably have gone with Canon instead, not least because their cine and still bodies can share EF-mount lenses.

It’s not just the number of photosites, or even the bit depth - Netflix approved cameras need timecode support, among other features that distinguish a “production ready” camera from a consumer one.
