Honestly this is something that needs to talked about more. I frequently see people roasting on foss but in reality the proprietary vendors have all sorts of dumb security issues.

The difference being, that the Plex devs weren't confronted with a list of security issues and basically shrugged and dragged their feet for 5 years

How do you know that? Development happens behind closed doors.

The Jellyfin devs are "dragging their feet" because they do not want to break existing clients.
