To my knowledge there isn't a way to bypass its DRM atm (to directly download a file).

It's certainly possible, look for the various groups releasing untouched Netflix video on your favourite filesharing platform.

They're not about to make their method public though, and last I read up on it I don't think they can do 4k? But SD/720p/1080p is all there.

I believe 4k uses hdcp to your monitor, but the other formats are as simple as screen capturing.
SD/720p/1080p netflix can be de-drm'd losslessly, there's no capture/re-encode step needed (...if you know the technique, I don't but assume it involves the download to watch offline feature).
