the centralized login method is easier for people outside of your network to use your content. thats kinda the main draw if you are willing to sacrifice that level of privacy
That’s a big reason I went to Emby instead. Liked it so much I paid for it and gained access to LDAP support for logins so everyone can login to the same account they use for other things I host.
I tried Plex and as someone new to it it seems like such garbage. Jellyfin has been utterly flawless for me.

I’d just create a VPN on my local server and login that way.

Plex was amazing a few years ago. It continued to get shittier and shittier. But it did create the groundwork of what’s possible.
