No, the argument for plex is that it's easy and widely supported. It has an app on every device in existence, and a new user can be streaming from a friends server remotely within minutes of asking for access, with no VPN or IP whitelisting or any other workaround required. Secure, fast, easy.

What platform doesn’t support Jellyfin?

The rest of that applies to Jellyfin as well, I just give you the url and the account details then you’re good to go.

90% of the TVs out there. Not everyone has an android tv.

What url are you giving me for jellyfin? You’ve exposed jellyfin to the open internet? You know how stupid that is?

You think 90% of TVs don't use Roku, webOS, Android, or Apple?

No different than exposing any other port service, like Plex for example. However it's my reverse proxy.

No, they don’t.

Very different to that, actually. Someone with this poor knowledge of networking absolutely should not be exposing their server to the open internet.
