For VOD platforms. it would be a dream if one day netflix / disney+ / AppleTV / ..., would offer iframes, and I could use other sites that offer me their own catalog browsing and recommendation ergonomics that are not limited to a catalog with their walled garden editorial choices.

Why have iframes lost so much use?

Bunch of issues:

- security (now improved but historically very problematic)

- accessibility (confusing for screen readers)

- responsiveness

- scrolling

- usability (for example if something in the iframe wants to display modal with backdrop covering whole screen)

But I agree that Netflix catalog UI sucks
