The thing I don’t get is why Netflix won’t allow their iPad app to be used. They had to go out of their way to disable the platform from using their existing app.
I get not building a new one, but reusing the existing one makes more sense imho.

E.g. maybe it will only display video on an emulated "iPad screen" whereas the website uses Safari's video player that might have many more VR-friendly playback features.
Support costs? Bad PR when it doesn't work well? There are a lot of reasons they may not want it to be used yet.
I wouldn't expect a Vision Pro app delivering a 2D content experience to be dramatically more expensive to build and maintain than their vast array of apps for set-top boxes, hotels, streaming sticks, or the Meta Quest they've already supported but not charged extra for. Why would they draw the line here?
