I’ve never used Netflix but if I did I’d imagine this wouldn’t affect me much as a paying customer. It seems to mainly be an issue for those who either travel alot or are using somebody else’s account

No, they were using paid accounts.
If I buy a frisbee and throw it to a friend, my friend doesn’t owe the frisbee company anything. I paid for the frisbee, I can do what I want with it.
