"Families" in this context doesn't specifically mean your family's niche needs. It means that generally children and/or parents can do 90% of things without tech support.
I don't actually agree at all that Jellyfin is at that level, but asking for it to automatically fetch subtitles on languages outside the top 40 languages in the world doesn't feel like a common scenario.
