And what if my kid brings their tablet to a friend's house? What if they cast their tablet to the TV?

I realize that traditional cable is account per house but that's what streaming services were supposed to break us away from.

Then the streaming is being done by someone who lives in your household and is permitted under the terms and conditions. And will probably cause no issues, as Netflix will likely register that device regularly appears at your IP address with all your other devices.
