It shouldn't be up to the content-provider to say what should and shouldn't have DRM around it. If your using a display that doesn't implement HDCP than you don't see the video, therefore you don't have control of where the stream goes. Netflix determines that for you.

The author doesn't want any DRM on her videos. Netflix is unwilling to do that. Since the stream is just DRM wrapped h264 there is no technical reason why it should be that way. There DRM is as open as Apple's DRM which isn't very open at all.

I've used Netflix over composite and VGA cables with no problem. While DRM can be used to protect things in the way you mention, that doesn't appear to be the case with Netflix.
