Netflix can only discriminate because we have attestation in the first place. This is not a security mechanism anymore.
Even still, there are ways to implement this using an open source, signed, reproducibly built daemon that gets loaded early in the boot process. Altering the daemon would've out of the question but it would solve the more immediate problem of "Netflix doesn't work" that most people would actually care about.
