In fairness-
1. Older electronics weren’t quite so integrated. The TV remote might have had buttons that said “cable” or even “HBO” that didn’t by default do those things. It was also classically very easy to hit the wrong button and end up “lost” in a stream of menus and inputs that- while it SEEMS like no skill is required to get out of- there is some knowledge there. Remember- within the lives of a great deal of people on earth- the windows start menu didn’t even exist for them until they were 1/2 or more through their lives. It seems common sense to people who grew up with that technology the same way a farmer might not get how you don’t “just know” “basic” things about a farm- or an outdoorsman or carpenter might forget that what seems very common sense to them is foreign to you.
2. Many modern home entertainment set ups can be complex- more so when multiple generations of different equipment are integrated, or installations aren’t done by people who know how to do them well etc. Some surround sound systems for example- require the user to first go to an input for the TV and surround to signal each other, back out, then go to another- or you won’t have sound. Likewise- you may have a multiple devices with Roku or other streaming built in- so there may be several possible devices that can run Netflix- but only one is the “right” one.
And yes- I know it is a joke. Before anyone feels the need to tell me. It’s a funny joke. I laughed- or snorted at least. But I figured I’d just point out that there ARE circumstances where it makes sense a person might be confused about which way is the “right way” to access Netflix.
