Most likely that’s less a technical decision than a business decision, so that you never realize the true extent of Netflix’s catalog.

It’s obviously not a technical decision. Rights holders wouldn’t allow them to stream anything beyond their contract and I’m sure they have at least one team responsible for making sure videos are only available during the contract period.
