Currently, you can only use the first profile created on the account with Netflix.

Did you delete the first profile created on that account?

I don't think this is a problem related to how PlayCover makes the .app to work, maybe it's a limitation of the catalyst framework

Can any of you try using Sideloady to run Netflix to see if that works?

@stek29 commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2022):

it was fixed in #406

you can also override default.yaml without building PlayCover from source
so you can copy PlayCover.app/Contents/Resources/default.yaml to ~/.config/PlayCover/default.yaml, and add changes from #406 to get Netflix to work.
