Probably won't make a huge difference but yeah, I agree. Just like how they locked Netflix and other features for years on the 360, it wasn't a very consumer friendly choice. Change it.

Didn't they allow Netflix for free (not behind Live paywall) once it came out on PS3 and Wii?

Can't remember exactly when but even when Netflix came out for competing consoles after the year of exclusivity, Xbox 360 owners still couldn't access it without Gold. In fact, I think it was pretty close to the release of the Xbox One that the policy finally changed. Even the XB 360 web browser was locked behind Gold and that wasn't added into veeeeery late in the generation.

*Googled it. It was locked until 2014!! 😲
