This issue is not limited to netflix package. Many (or all - did not test!) msstore apps fail to install when using --scope argument.

Sample log when trying to install Ubuntu 20.04:

[CLI ] Found one app. App id: 9MTTCL66CPXJ App name: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
[CLI ] Manifest fields: Name [Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS], Version [Unknown]
[CLI ] Starting installer selection.
[CLI ] Installer [Arm64,msstore,Unknown,] not applicable: Installer scope does not match required scope: Unknown != Machine
[CLI ] Installer [Arm64,msstore,Unknown,] not applicable: Machine is not compatible with Arm64
[CLI ] Installer [X64,msstore,Unknown,] not applicable: Installer scope does not match required scope: Unknown != Machine
[CLI ] Terminating context: 0x8a150010 at D:\a\_work\1\s\external\pkg\src\AppInstallerCLICore\Workflows\InstallFlow.cpp:74

To see all winget logs open:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir

It happens with all store apps.i believe if the scope option works with store apps that can be game changer as Microsoft store for business is retiring and we could get the offline appxpackage but as winget doesn't provide with a appxpackage scope machine would be really helpful in case of store apps
