Many people who have plex set up struggled to even do that. For them to then have to install multiple applications that don’t automatically work with default settings out of the box is asking too much for a not insignificant portion of plex users. Not everyone knows how to do proper self hosting. Not everyone can figure it out.
“They” don’t have to do that. They can just install the jellyfin server .exe in their computer and point it to their libraries, that’s it. As time goes on they couls slowly start adding plugins or learning how more advanced features work. But hey, if you want to pay a thirs party to access your own media, go ahead. We all make mistakes in life xD
