Irrelevant. You don't make a reservation for lots of meals at that
time, but for one.
If you want dining analogies, take one of those all-you-can-eat
places. All you can eat means just that -- if they tried to limit you
they'd get nailed for false advertising.
When "unlimited" doesn't actually mean unlimited, Netflix is
cheating.
