So they can pick and chose what they want based on their preference can't they?
What's the huge issue? Is preferring German and being presented French some kind of slight?

Also, Netflix already shows so little in their overview, making half of them non-starters is really annoying. The world is not a cookie cutter duplicate of America with just some different language settings. There should be an option for local differences (not just this one but ones that exist in many countries). It's just a total disregard of national and regional cultural differences too.
In fact I'm quite surprised the US has such a harmonised culture because they have huge differences too. I just can't wrap my head around how a Silicon Valley hipster can be just as offended by half a boob on TV than a methodist Midwestern. Though only for the latter it's an actual cultural and religious issue. The level of cultural harmonisation despite all the regional differences is something that's pretty unique in the US I believe. I've travelled a lot and I've not seen this in other countries.
That surprises me - Netflix seem pretty good at accommodating UK culture as a contrast. Local shows like The Crown, for example.
For us there should just be a preferred language setting instead of just dumping the user in a certain box because of the IP they connect from.
Maybe it's both, I suppose.
