alt Hacker NewsWhy does Netflix care if Microsoft is hoovering up all the user's data? Why would they even care if Microsoft was giving itself access to the Netflix streams? Unlike with Signal there are no real secrets in there.
Plus, what is Netflix even going to do? Stop supporting streaming on Microsoft platforms and then lose a bunch of subscribers for no benefit to themselves?

I imagine it wouldn't be Netflix enforcing that decision but rather the hollywood studios.

In this case, if Recall records the screen constantly then it can get the DRMed video from Netflix, and therefore possibly exfiltrate it to the user for piracy easier? I think they nominally try to prevent you streaming it / recording it to shut that down.
