At that point Netflix should just provide its own VPN / internet access for paying users

Netflix puts servers in datacenters to cache content, so you access it much faster. Not sure what problem Netflix VPN will solve.
You're missing the point. Netflix is fast in these situations because your client can access the server in the ISP's data center and video traffic remains local to the ISP and doesn't traverse the congested link to the IX.

Other companies embed servers with ISPs as well.
