In short, the only benefit to Netflix is the opportunity to educate people that would otherwise never know the power of open source.

There's the goal of educating people, which is noble, and then there's proselytizing, which tends to make them stop listening.

If you wanna win people over to FOSS, a great way to do it is to show them some awesome projects you've worked on, made using free utilities (e.g., vim, audacity, gimp, openshot...), running on a free operating system. Show them how you obtained full wifi coverage in your apartment by installing openwrt on a clunky old router and configuring it as a wireless repeater.

The way to open people's minds to open source is not by closing your mind to closed source. Instead, show them all the cool stuff you can do for cheap. It's a much less abrasive approach!
