If people aren’t watching the show why not just make it a radio play?

I think because people are 'watching' in a situation where twenty years ago they'd've put the radio on but now they default to 'fire something up on Netflix' and so Netflix wants to make things amenable to those customers.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it does at least make sense in terms of why Netflix are doing so.

That's not how (good) radio plays work either. Through good use of dialog and foley, they could avoid such ham-handed writing.
