Having variety doesn't mean having everything. A grocery store has a lot of variety but not everything, similarly cable doesn't have everything. A lot of the biggest shows on Netflix have been Korean, usually US cable doesn't have those.

Except "we" didn't have everything, Netflix selection was more US focused, that was it.
