For VOD platforms. it would be a dream if one day netflix / disney+ / AppleTV / ..., would offer iframes, and I could use other sites that offer me their own catalog browsing and recommendation ergonomics that are not limited to a catalog with their walled garden editorial choices.
Why have iframes lost so much use?
Bunch of issues:
- security (now improved but historically very problematic)
- accessibility (confusing for screen readers)
- responsiveness
- scrolling
- usability (for example if something in the iframe wants to display modal with backdrop covering whole screen)
But I agree that Netflix catalog UI sucks
