But there are thousands big ones out there. Cloudflare, Cloudfront, Baidu, Yandex, Akamai, Tencent, Twitter, Yahoo, Disqus, Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest etc. Why bring up Apple and Netflix specifically?

Going for the high trees instead of low hanging fruit. Why? On average, larger impact.

There's Invidation addon to avoid Twitter/YouTube and redirect to Nitter/Invidious, and there's some addons to avoid CDNs such as Cloudflare / Amazon/ Akamai. There's also an addon to remove garbage in URLs such as AMP (I mean, wtf?).

If you want to avoid these completely, plus GAFAM, your internet (browsing) experience isn't annoying; it is broken.

I avoid Uber/Airbnb/Pinterest already (niches I don't care about) and Yandex/Baidu is not meant for my demographics.

If Baidu, Tencent, Cloudflare etc are "low hanging fruit" then Netflix is an even lower hanging fruit. It's just a streaming service. Even Twitch has a wider audience than them. Which is the reason I was confused why you brought those two up specifically, instead of the bigger players who are way more ubiquitous.

Invidition is just a wrapper. Doesn't solve the larger problem which is what's happening on the server. Last time I tried it YouTube was completely broken because Google changed a tiny little thing.

Obviously Netflix is low hanging fruit. Its just that people use the term GAFAN sometimes, and sometimes GAFAM. I don't know the exact logic of why using one or the other, so I did mention Netflix and Microsoft.

Twitch is Amazon.

I'm aware of wrapper usage. I just use youtube-dl from CLI whenever I see a YouTube linked referenced which should interest me.

netflix is the N and apple is an A in GAFAN

Probably because there are containerizer addons for Apple and Netflix, specifically, and not for the other sites you mention.
