I use consoles because I have kids. Ps5 doesn't have jellyfin but does have plex in its store.

This is a big part of the problem. You can use Plex on PlayStation, xbox, Roku, apple tv, iPhone, android, etc...

The apps are ubiquitous, the coverage is complete. In just about any situation, Plex is a workable option.
