There's a simple answer to that. When many people first got started with Plex, it was awesome! Way better than xbmc! Also, jellyfin didn't exist.
Once you've had things up and running smoothly for years, changing everything is a hard sell. You could spend hours setting it up, fixing little inconsistencies, manually matching titles that had weird names, etc. or you could just... not.
I hope I've cleared things up for you! The answer is laziness!
IDK, the hardest (Most tedious) part for me was renaming everything and categorizing things properly, but that passed over seamlessly, although I do remember being paranoid that I would have to do It again and the only reason I switched is because Windows broke something on my old server and I had to use Linux so I was kinda forced into it.
