If Netflix were on Chromium, and Debian accepted Chromium in its repos, I'd be upset. As it is, I'm tentatively saying that this is a partnership between Google, Ubuntu, and Netflix to expand their customer base, and as long as it isn't aggressively trying to infect the rest of the ecosystem, good on them.
Maybe a better comparison is the general glee shown about Steam coming to Linux. I would never install Steam on my machine, but I also can't imagine a situation in which I'd be forced to because (for example) Gnome wouldn't run without it anymore. Therefore, I think of it as a non-bad thing that may be a good thing if it attracts developers.
