Turns out, Chrome on Linux shipped with a Widevine CDM before any other browser (including Chrome on Windows).

Chrome for Linux indeed comes with libwidevinecdm.so, but still, Netflix is not letting the Chrome on desktop Linux play content even though Netflix allows Chrome OS to play content.

So that libwidevinecdm.so isn't particularly useful to Linux users.
