Netflix is being forced to accept the studios terms. They have chosen to "enforce" these DRM restrictions in the weakest possible way. It's very easy to be both rooted AND pass AndroidPay. If this is the only requirement to continue to watch netflix on my phone, this is no requirement at all.
This sounds like a wink and a nod to me.
Of course, that's just my opinion, and I could be wrong...
