Anyone who doesn't want that experience can still wait until the whole thing is out, probably just a few months, at which point it will still be available in the binge library, presumably forever. (I know some who prefer not to start a new series at all until the entire thing is finished, which is also okay.)

Likewise, I could say that anyone who doesn't want to watch them all at once doesn't have to. You can choose to watch only 1 episode a week.

the problem is that these people tend to enjoy discussing "this week's episode" with their friends, and that's hard when they've watched the entire season/series.

This discussion of an ep or event in series happens regardless... You are just defending a timescale based on an old model as a reason for it to exist.
