I don't disagree, but what they use it for, at what scale and at what priority matters a lot
Read the article? They were experimenting with using IPFS to distribute container images across AWS regions. And they do it at Netflix scale...
I mean, they have many devs, but that's still a few magnitudes below their number of viewers.

The article doesn't mention IPNS at all, nor does it talk about the need for mutating an image while it is being shared, so I'm not sure why you think IPNS is even desirable in this use-case?
I would think because IPNS is IPFS.. and you asked how IPNS compares to BitTorrent. Maybe I misunderstand your question, but the reply seems totally on topic and a valid answer to your question.

"Inter-Planetary Name System (IPNS) is a system for creating and updating mutable links to IPFS content. Since objects in IPFS are content-addressed, their address changes every time their content does. That's useful for a variety of things, but it makes it hard to get the latest version of something." https://docs.ipfs.io/guides/concepts/ipns/ TLDR IPNS are pointers to IPFS content (ie "latest").

Saving Netflix's bandwith costs by sacrificing your privacy. IPFS and bittorrent don't do anything to protect the data you are uploading and your IP address. Case in point: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer/ Now every website you visit, any ad/tracker, any homecalling phone app can tell what movies and contents you watch and when you are at home. For years.
Netflix use IPFS? That's quite an endorsement and makes me take it a lot more seriously.
”Netflix and IPFS began collaborating on ways to incorporate peer-to-peer services into Netflix’s developer tooling” Developer tooling is a pretty limited part of their traffic probably
If Netflix is using IPFS for anything worth mentioning, it's almost certainly substantive enough to be considered an endorsement.

Do not visit this site. If you visit it once and then visit it after a while they will fill it with crap that you did not download in order to blackmail you or something I presume. Alternatively they might start tracking you only once you visit it. Even if they are honest it is extremely inaccurate (it had 8.8.8.8 torrenting anime a while ago for example)

This is basically how booting from a disk image works on most cloud platforms too.
I really don't understand why there is a big hype towards IPFS which is still in development stage although, there are other options which are already out and working like Sia - Skynet which is not even getting a fraction of attention IPFS is getting.
