The double standard is Netflix is able to provide an app that does nothing out of the box until you register elsewhere. Other apps would get booted because they don't work without navigating elsewhere.

Other apps like Spotify, Kindle, all the music streaming and audiobook etc.? Oh wait, they are not booted.

No. "Reader apps" get an exception to this.

Those are all mega apps. If you try that as a small indie dev it won't work that way.
The vast majority of those apps aka "all the music streaming and audiobook etc" in my comment are not mega apps and work that way.
