Official Raspberry Pi Support Arrives For Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime | Tom's Hardware

This came to my attention recently. Does that mean it will make access to Netflix and other streaming platforms easier on Kodi in the future?

It will allow the widevine-helper add-on to download a 7MB libwidevinecdm.so file from Pi Foundation servers instead of having to download a 1.7GB ChromeOS update to unpack and extract the file, which is a nice improvement to user experience. It will make no difference to how widevine using streaming services operate, i.e. the formats or resolutions that can be used for media playback - there are no changes to widevine certification status.
