Like, we didnt used to say

I'm watching the TV set
I'm watching the flat-screen
I'm watching the satellite
I'm watching the PC


Its weird that people refer to the distribution service rather than what they;re watching - a show or movie/film.

IMO.

Yes, op. No one ever said "I'm watching TV" or "I'm listening to the radio".

You made such an excellent point.

That's because nobody actually watches anything. They just search for stuff and then second guess their decisions for hours.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Netflix isn't the equivalent of a TV or PC, it's not a physical object. It's the equivalent of CBS or Fox.
