I honestly don’t think it’s so much that. The reason why they’re fighting this is because it could stifle innovation and also is contrary to the EFF’s goals, ideals, etc.
The reason why they’re using Netflix as an example is because the topic itself has to be condensed to fit a headline and be understandable and attention grabbing. It’s a pretty complex concept to convey meaningfully in a short space of text.
The analogy kind of works. But I agree the title is a bit overwrought. The headline of the previous analogy I saw was slightly more wordy but not as vague while still getting the point across.
