Netflix arbitrarily breaks AirPlay support

Netflix App for iOS No Longer Supports AirPlay Because of ‘Technical Limitations’:

“We want to make sure our members have a great Netflix experience on any device they use. With AirPlay support rolling out to third-party devices, there isn’t a way for us to distinguish between devices (what is an Apple TV vs. what isn’t) or certify these experiences. Therefore, we have decided to discontinue Netflix AirPlay support to ensure our standard of quality for viewing is being met. Members can continue to access Netflix on the built-in app across Apple TV and other devices.”

Another of the endless examples of remote corporations telling me what I can and can’t do with the software I run on the computers I own.
