They have gotten better about that. Dungeon Meshi was simulcast (at least within the same day), as is Orb this season. Netflix’s value proposition is pretty poor these days though after a series of price increases. This is especially true if you have a 4k TV and actually want to use it at full resolution since you need to pay a higher tier for 4k resolution.
Netflix still does whole season drops of its original/exclusive shows (e.g. Kengan Ashura, TP-Bon, JoJoBA Stone Ocean), which kind of ruins the weekly episode anticipation slow burn.
A whole season is too much to digest, and without the weekly notifications, otherwise fine series just fade into the background.
Dungeon Meshi was an exception, for whatever reason that was released weekly.
There are several simulcast Anime on Netflix right now, though. They are getting better at it and give every kind of viewer something. I mean they even give you the date for the next episode so they’re clearly aware of your kind of viewer.

And yet they also fumbled Blue Box. Tbh anime piracy is the best value proposition in general, and I don’t see that changing.
