That's one of the main things the media / critics have said all along about Netflix. Them making their viewership info / ratings and data deliberately unclear.

Which is definitely in their favor when it comes to future negotiations with people, talent, showrunners they do repeat business with.

Think about the comics with multiple specials on their platform. It would definitely serve them well to know more precise data about how they're performing (compared to other peoples' specials) when it comes to the bargaining table (read: $ discussion).
