That's because it's a fork of Emby from 13+ years ago, still running 90% of that old code. They've kept it functional, that's about it.
If you want something that's actually still being developed/improved look to Emby or Plex. Emby is more focused on 'personal' media servers with your own content and users under your own control; plex is more focused on cloud services, integrating content they can run advertising on and requiring your users to authenticate through their public servers to be able to access your local/private server.
I use Plex for music because it is very good there, but Jellyfin for movies/tv which I like more for that kind of content.
I've had plex running on my nas for 6+ years now, and have it set to where all the cloud stuff is available but out of the way, as I have a small collection so I don't need to lean into the cloud streaming. I remember trying Emby in my evaluation of Plex, but as I recall the UI was bleh and it too followed a paid model. I know of Kodi but I haven't looked into it in a long time, and I never ended up actually trying it.
Plex is fine for my needs, but I decided to get setup with JF just 'in case' plex takes a sharp new direction or something (I've had it installed since the whole 'watch stuff free with ads' kicked off), so if/when I can just be like 'hey all plex did [stupid thing] so I just need you all to uninstall plex, grab this jellyfin app, and login with [credentials] and we will be all set'.
Why did they fork Emby if Emby is still being actively developed?
Emby used to be entirely open source, it's free to use the base product (server software and the built in web browser based app) but requires a license for the installable apps and some server features so that the developers have some income from their work and incentive to keep spending their time+efforts on it.
Some people don't like paying others for their hard work so they'd regularly fork Emby as it releases updates so they could remove those paywalls.
Unwilling to continue supporting this, Emby went closed source so their work could no longer be stolen. Jellyfin is the final fork of emby before it officially closed its source code. They have since kept it running, but have made little to no improvements or changes beyond that.
