For me, Plex has a better ecosystem of apps and a far better sync or “downloads” as they call it now. The sync is a killer feature for someone who travels a lot.
Good question. Im really not interested in the setup and support that Jellyfin needs to match Plex’s ease of use. The fact that I can download Plex on my desktop, direct it to scan some folders in my hard drive, and play those files on my PS5 or phone 10 minutes later without ever having to do any kind of serious work myself makes the $5/month more than worth it
It does, but monthly subscriptions give Plex much more monetary support. Maybe one day when I really need to tighten my budget I’ll buy the one-and-done option, but for now $5 a month is negligible for how much I use the service
Only subscriptions I pay for is Plex, Drunkenslug, and Newshosting
why not jellyfin?

Probably one of its many shortcomings.

Plex lifetime goes on sale fairly often, just a heads up
