Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

I use both at home, mostly plex though and I have about a dozen people who watch remotely and keeping the remote access private and secure I'm not putting jellyfin behind a public reverse proxy. Not feasible to setup wire guard for a dozen people across 4 states and troubleshooting those tunnels when Plex does all that for me. Plus Plex allows them to manage and reset their password without my intervention
