You can share your account, with other people at your same physical location.
You can't share your account with people who are going to be primarily watching Netflix from a different physical location than your own.
Does not seem unfair, IMO.

Email, phone, password manager, ... any other internet based service.
Netflix is not like cable. Cable is provided by a physical wire connected to one location. Netflix is delivered over any internet connection. If I pay to have multi-device access, it should not matter where those devices are located.
If that's not what you're saying, then if I don't need sharing for use in the home, then what purpose does the share tier serve if I can't share it?
What you can't do is give your password to someone outside your household and have them watch Netflix from their house whenever they want. Which, I mean, obviously that was never really OK.
Curious, how did you extract that from the above? Inviting people over to watch with you isn’t sharing your account, nor is it watching from outside your household.
