Because they still pay $500k cash.

The thing with Netflix is that they have such few open roles and there are plenty of other liquid high comp companies that pay similar. It was all about the original stock growth that just stuck I guess

This highly depends on your skillset. Most employers with equivalent liquid comp will be HFT, and you will be writing C++.

Netflix is the only employer I know of where an Android or iOS IC can make liquid 500k+ TC without RSUs.

What does "cash" mean in this context, as opposed to if the word wasn't included?

They famously don't pay you in equity at all. If you work at Netflix and want NFLX stock, you buy it yourself.
