I wonder if Netflix will offer MPS as a service in the future for shows that are not on Netflix.

Probably not. One reason is that this is a competitive advantage for Netflix but I suspect the larger reason is that they created this to optimize their primary business, while operating it for other productions would be a secondary business and not mission critical. Another reason is that productions not on Netflix have other commercial options for camera to cloud production workflows (Frame.io for example).

This workflow and tool set is tuned for Netflix and is probably opinionated in a variety of ways to conform with Netflix production standards and requirements. If your production is being funded by Netflix then you're incentivized to learn and use their provided tools.

Wasn't this how AWS started at Amazon as well?
