It is interesting to see that Netflix hasn't implemented SharePlay.

The keynote lists many other partners (such as Hulu, HBOMax etc.)

Yeah you’d think they’d be first. Super cool though they provided an API though.
Netflix doesn’t support normal AirPlay either. Bummer
Netflix don’t implement the Apple TV features that allow you to see content from multiple sources on one page or “up next” either.
I guess that's owing to the fact that unlike all other streaming platforms, streaming is Netflix's core competency and not a side hustle unlike all other owners of streaming platforms. They need the in-app engagement as much as subs.
I’d love to know whether it works in their favour or not. I find myself viewing less and less Netflix content on my Apple TV as the “up next” queue is always full of non-Netflix content.
