Netflix is a rather specific example — don't they use Silverlight (as in "the only site anyone in the world cares about that uses Silverlight"?)

It's like Apple stressing how well their browser works on -- oh wait, Apple doesn't produce a proprietary plugin. Well, let's say the iTunes page, if it were specifically tuned to work well in Safari.

Edge and Safari run Netflix under HTML5's protected media path. Silverlight is only used for backwards compatibility.
