It is my theory that Netflix is designed to make you browse instead of watch. Streaming costs money. Browsing keeps you engaged with Netflix without costing them real money.
They own a lot of their own content now so that’s “free”. They pay residuals based on streams which is part of licensing. The more streams, the more licensing costs.

Streaming costs almost nothing to them comparitively, the expensive part is all the licensing
Tried to look this up and you’re not wrong. It’s pennies per month for each user. Not per stream, but all streams.
Really puts their price hikes in perspective. Wish I could cancel it again.
