I think it would also be good to give an example of the video format that isn't supported - I don't know which one you're referring too.
I would suggest changing "free software HTML5 video playback formats" to "free software HTML5 video playback features". It's currently not possible to select video playback of 1080p using the HTML5 player on YouTube. That's the specific example I was thinking of there. YouTube is almost certainly primarily consumed via web browsers (especially considering YouTube videos are frequently found embedded in web pages), whereas I would expect Netflix is consumed via custom-made apps (eg. game consoles, media centers, mobile apps). That's why I find Mozilla's response to EME both odd and suspicious.
