Ron Howard is a good director in the sense that he has an exceptional understanding of the craftsmanship of making a movie. As you mention some hit better than others, but his best films are pretty fantastic. Who else can do Ransom and The Dilema? Who else is willing to try?
Re Netflix: As one who used to run ABC-TV Daytime Sales Proposals, I can testify that you can charge anything you want... and buyers can decide to go elsewhere. And after the market moves and you are stuck with unsaleable merchandise and no one to buy it, you will be fired. In the end, it is, if you'll pardon the expression, a market.
