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
why not jellyfin?

Probably one of its many shortcomings.
