"I can’t download Netflix from the Play Store”
On May 13, 2017, Netflix updated their app on the Play store. The result: many users, who rooted or unlocked the bootloader on their smartphone, can’t download the app onto their smartphone. They see the following message when they open the app page on the Play Store: “Your device is not compatible with this version”.
Netflix: "Version 5.0 only works with devices that are certified by Google and that meet Androids’ requirements”.
The reason is simple. Netflix now uses the new DRM Widevine system by Google, which is incompatible with rooted smartphones or even devices with the bootloader unlocked. Remember, rooting allows Android users to have complete administrative access, allowing them to access all files and authorizations of the smartphone.

With this new system, Netflix also wants to prevent any potential pirating as, thanks to rooting, it could be possible to access multimedia files stored locally, like films and TV shows.

I appreciate the tips.. but
there's nothing to stop the inevitable decline of rooting and using unlocked bootloader.
for most folks and OEMs its security and easy UX that's more important than being able to customise whatever you want.
