Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

Last time I tried it, it wanted my media in a specific file structure, so I ended up having multiple instances of the same show. I could reorder everything but I got a plexpass when it was dirt cheap so I'm not that inclined to reorder everything.

If I was just starting out, I'd probably use Jellyfin but haven't mostly due to inertia.
