>In what world is it reasonable to pay once then share the service with 2/3/4 households?

Perhaps the one where the plan I pay extra for says I can use it on up to four devices at once, which is literally in the first paragraph of their help page for plans (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926)

Clearly that's only if you want to watch four things at once, or the same show on four screens around you.
Or more likely 4 viewers in your household, such as different children watching different things simultaneously.

To stretch this to entire different households sharing passwords was never a reasonable interpretation.

They literally encouraged password sharing: https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712
Interpretation in which we or some of us can travel for holiday and watch netfix is 100% reasonable interpretation. Having accounts limited to one place is beyond absurd.
