I agree with your take--when applied to the viewer.

This is Netflix going out of their way to coddle viewers and make it easier to continue scrolling on their phones while the movie plays...their goal is to keep people paying the monthly subscription--if it means making movies that are super low-effort to watch, you can absolutely bet on them exploiting it.
