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

I see more open ports for Jellyfin than I do for plex…..

So? Jellyfin only needs 8096, the other two are https and lan discovery, you can also add 1900 for DNLA. On the other hand Plex has 8 additional configurable ports for other stuff, but that's besides the point because it requires network_mode: host otherwise it pretends it can't be seen.
