It's akin to using Plex v Jellyfin for serving media files to others. If they're not technically savvy they really don't want to have to think about networking protocols and their fragility... so you just deal with Plex because at least it turns down the volume on constant calls to your support desk / personal mobile phone.

Have you heard of Emby? It seems to be closed-source. However you can still run it yourself [0]. UX appears to be better than Jellyfin, but I haven't tried either and not sure which one to go for.
