I read the same, and I feel like that is a negative feedback loop.
Like the more the content is written so that people don't have to pay attention and plot and scenery is verbally stated by actors, the less people will feel like they need to pay attention.. and then they'll turn to their phone.
Its gonna come back to bite them when they dumb the content down and people realize they don't actually need to pay for Netflix to run in the background, and can instead just have YouTube videos of people reciting the plot to them while they doodle on their phones.
