Isn't this the requirement of every website with a login system since the 90s? Never used Netflix, was it possible to subscribe without providing an email address?

Also, temporary email addresses exist, as well as setting up a throw away email address; don't see much of a problem with this.

This is for profiles. You can have up to 6 per account

With one account you used to be able to have multiple profiles.

I used to have a profile on my parents account. Never linked any email to that profile.

We obviously quite the subscription when they didn't allow profiles to exist in different houses.
