It really doesn't. Do you live in the same house? Then you're covered. And there's lots you can feed in to a ML model to catch out people who have devices that have literally never appeared together in the same household to spot suspicious activity and, for instance, for 2FA.
If that just stops people reselling accounts to strangers in different countries alone that's a significant win for Netflix.
