> Despite that issue, we want our videos streamed in high quality and securely
Based on the previous paragraph (about getting Netflix to almost work on Linux), I'm guessing that the "we" here is consumers of video, not producers or distributors. In which case, no, "we" do not give a rat's ass about whether our videos are streamed "securely."
"We" want to watch what we want to watch when we want to watch it. Content producers insisted on "security" and Netflix chose Silverlight as a short-term technical solution to that problem. No one else wanted it. We just tolerated it.
