📄 Description

To reduce clutter in the user home.

This file is apparently intended to specify login information for remote
systems, such as username and password for ftp/http connections
(similarly to using ~/.ssh/config for ssh connections).

From inetutils.info of GNU inetutils 2.6, which provides ftp and telnet
binaries (among others):

11.7 The ‘.netrc’ file

The ‘.netrc’ file contains login and initialization information used
by the auto-login process. It generally resides in the user's home
directory, but a location outside of the home directory can be set
using the environment variable ‘NETRC’. Both locations are overridden
by the command line option ‘-N’. The selected file must be a regular
file, or access will be denied.

It seems that the file is intended to be created manually (just like
~/.ssh/config), as it is not mentioned in mpv(1). mpv supports using
yt-dlp and ~/.netrc is mentined in yt-dlp(1), though it does not look
like it would create the file either.

Note also that this entry is not present in any other profile (including
the ones that allow ~/.netrc).

This is a follow-up to #6732.
