On the Internet it's easy to feel surrounded with people even though you're not really socializing. Low-res text-based interactions that characterize most social media today don't provide enough signal for people to develop their social skills adequately, and the asynchronicity doesn't help either. Most people won't just tell you how they feel about what you're saying, but in real life that's what body language and other indirect signals are for. We've all heard stories of zoomers being less socially capable than previous generations. Now consider that the social awkwardness is not only curious from an outside perspective, but is also a perpetual source of anxiety to the people affected with it and can lead to self-isolation and other unhealthy coping behaviors.

I'd probably use Jellyfin if it got the basics right and lacked a thing or two, or if its opinionated implementation was limited to trivialities like how Plex refuses to use local images not named cover.jpg. But it's too opinionated, too inflexibly, about too many things, and I think its opinions are stupid, so it crosses the line as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't help that the code is convoluted and I couldn't figure out how to make changes to the way it analyzes files easily.
