What I got from the post is that Netflix was only given permission to read your messages. With the heavy implication that Netflix never utilized that permission. That they made sure not to directly say that, only imply it, tells me what actually happened.
But even apart from the telling PR-dance, leaving data on the table is leaving money on the table. If someone's been given permission to take it, they will. Sometimes even without the permission.
