This thread is comparing the ease of setup between Plex and Jellyfin and having to purchase your own domain and set a bunch of stuff up on your own definitely doesn't make for an easier install. You might be right about people's ability to type in a URL, but this definitely illustrates the added difficulty in setting up Jellyfin.
