It may not be a problem that requires a self hosting solution on its own, but if you're already self hosting video and music, why not do this too?
I'm sure you're well aware of what a PITA it can be to rely on 'loose files in a folder' when trying to consume media. You don't get your progress saved, files might not be named correctly or in an easily readable way, it can be more clunky to play files, and it can be harder to find them in something like VLC if you have a lot of music or videos on your device too. This is the whole reason why things like Plex and Jellyfin (and all the other niche options) exist in the first place. They make things easy after the little bit of initial set up.
