Lets see a smart phone play PC VR games on high settings at 90fps....
Mobile VR is good for 360 videos and that's about it. I'm not sure why you're comparing the two.

Have you actually used a Rift, Virtual Desktop, and watched Netflix? Your post seems to have a lot of second-hand information. Like... you Googled "how to watch Netflix with the Oculus Rift," and then came to make a post as though you've experienced it. You clearly haven't, because watching Netflix on Virtual Desktop is amazing. It is also amazing while using Big Screen, but you didn't even mention that... and you even stated that a person "have to use Virtual Desktop." And that is wrong. Big Screen is free and is just as great an option.
I can actually function with my day job using my Rift thanks to Big Screen and Virtual Desktop, since I'm a software developer and all of my programming and database tools look beautiful in the Rift as I work while floating near Saturn or in the middle of a space Nebula.
oh but Milk VR is cool? lol
I can play StarCraft, Diablo, WarCraft, Baldurs Gate, IceWind Dale, the entire Witcher series, Skyrim, Morrowind, and just about every other PC game ever made in my Rift. And I don't even have to use either Big Screen or Virtual Desktop, I can also use the Steam VR gaming theater. And also play every game available on Steam in there.
The lesson here is that anything can appear to suck if used terribly. For example: walking is better than using a motor vehicle... if you never actually put the motor vehicle in gear to move forward.

No I think that is just how you re-interpreted what the OP actually said @lovethis
He specifically asked for a Netflix "app" even though we can already watch Netflix in a more powerful way. That isn't "more" at all, that is the same thing in a lesser form.
The Oculus Store has a plethora of great titles, and PC-based VR far exceeds the mobile equivalent. For example, games like Elite Dangerous and Onward have created their own cultures. In contrast to mobile VR titles that are little more than instant gratification extensions of their 2D counterparts.

You must have mastered all the keys on your keyboard. I still have to peek out of my headset in VR Desktop from time to time.

Some are like this, certainly. However, some Gear VR titles hold a surprising amount of depth. .
