For Netflix, which doesn’t have a linear channel, this is the closest they can get to one. Linear channels have that advantage.
It’s hardly a weakness. The streaming services have always designated a date on which to launch new content.

So on the contrary, it is a strength. If certain content is best released weekly or on certain days of the week (or even a certain time on a designated day) then that’s what they do. And the audience can view it either straight away or at any time at their convenience.
