Funny, that was my first thought as well. Recently read their engineering blog post from 2012 on the API gateway + UI system [1] and thought it was really cool and made a lot of sense (in their specific, truly massive use case).

From recent memory, I can't recall Netflix really reinventing the wheel a-la-OP/Uber.
