Everyone else has the real details, but from my very amateur perspective thee big part is that it's not connected anywhere else and it's open source. I have to have an account with Plex to use Plex, so no matter what I do I always have to have there permission to get in the building. Jellyfin runs on my own box and stores its files in that box. I even know the exact directory my account is in. If they decide to push an update that doesn't jive with me, I just won't update my machine. If it goes off the rails at any point, there's at least thousands of jellyfin users that actually know what they're doing and we'll have a new jellyfin with black jack and hookers in less than a fortnight.
