Exactly. And that’s honestly why I doubt it will ever truly contend with Plex. It’s fine for sharing with friends who can figure out how to connect via VPN, but it’ll never be robust enough to share with your tech-illiterate grandparents on the open internet. Plex wins handily in that regard, because their sign in process is basically the same as Netflix, HBO, Hulu, etc…
Plex has problems of its own, but (at least as of me writing this) it doesn’t have any major known security vulnerabilities. They had some level 10.0 vulnerability last year, but they followed standard CVE protocols and patched it before the vulnerability was actually released.
