Netflix actively fights against these integrations - both on Apple TV and on Google/Android TV they refuse to integrate with the APIs that would give you this exact experience.

They also tend to refuse allowing their customers to watch on platforms they don't like - e.g. they actively blocked casting to Google smart displays and blocked Netflix app from working on Macs and Vision Pro so you can't download things.

Then Netflix should not be shown in such an app, and people will wonder why they bother paying for it if they find themselves using it less.
