This is a standard across subtitles in general, not a Netflix-specific thing.

I know and anyone who works in that area knows that too, but sometimes it's impossible to meet those requirement in a line or two. Netflix won't accept that and will force the translator to respect that instruction. They literally can't submit a subtitle which contains a line that has too many characters.
