Countries yes. Proprietary software, probably not a good argument. For example, I use Firefox for my web browsing, and Safari for Netflix - Safari uses EME so it's a much smoother experience.

Fee that isn't cheap for everyone, I also doubt. Where I live, Netflix costs like £6.99. That is legitimately cheap for everyone. In Britain, you pay less for Netflix than the cost of a TV license.

You live in one of the countries with the strongest economies in the world. That something is "cheap" for you doesn't mean it's cheap for everyone else.

£6.99 is small change to you, but it's about about four meals for me. It's also more than what I have in my wallet/bank account near at this very moment.

And there's places where economies are way weaker and my own. Heck, I know people who earn less than that per day.
