Definitely not surprising. The quality of Netflix originals is on a decline for years. I see this label as a warning nowadays. There are enough good quality movies and shows. My life is too short to spend it with mediocre entertainment that leaves no lasting impression or thoughts. I don't need to pass time I want to make most out of it.
Agreed, previously, seeing Netflix Original would be like seeing a Lexus in a sea of Toyotas. Now I just think "store brand".
I feel like the "Netflix original" label started to decline around the time they started disingenuously applying it to things that they merely distributed, not created. That was a sign that the company was willing to water down its brand quality to get people to watch stuff.
