They consider their product to be "Second Screen," which mean it is meant to be consumed while you are on your phone. Matt Damon recently talked about the rules of making a Netflix video, and one of them is that you have to repeat your plot objective several times, so the people who are "watching" while on their phones will get it.

They also mandate the use of certain cameras and lenses and other equipment, to ensure that their productions have a similar look across the platform.

They have lots of other rules that compromise quality and artistic integrity in favor of branding and profit.

That all counts as enshittification to me. It sure isn't good for the future of film as an art form.

Also, enshittification is not in spell check.

Every broadcaster and platform has a list of approved cameras, and always has done. That isn’t enshittification, that’s ensuring technical quality.

As to a house style, again that is longstanding and common. ABC, for example, favours pastel colours for sets and costume. This goes back to Technicolor and their visual control from the 1930s. Nothing new.
