I think their implication is that you want them to stay around to keep producing and offering more content, but I’m also pretty okay with that happening. Series produced by streaming services just can’t seem to write self-contained seasons without leaving unresolved plot lines as a hook to keep you subscribed, but they’re also just ruthless in acing anything once the numbers dip a touch. It’s gotten to the point where I see “Netflix original” or whatever as a massive red flag when picking something to watch, as I know there’s a high chance I’ll never get any resolution to the series.
Beyond that, given the proliferation of streaming services replicating the cable packages this services initially were pitched as letting us do away with them, I say let 'em burn to the ground.

The scenario you described has basically taught me to wait a season or two before I binge-watch anything on Netflix, to make sure a series never ends on a cliffhanger that won’t be resolved.
