> But let's be honest, 99.99% of Kodi and Plex use is purely for pirated content.

While you're grouping them in that category, why not put Microsoft Windows Media Center, XBox Media Center, and Playstation Media Center, and Apple TV in that category as well.

Sure, but Plex and Kodi are geared for library and collection organization. They take your files and parse filenames based on common naming patterns used in Usenet and torrent sites. Then create a beautiful collection from them.

The one off video players are more likely used for home videos or one off video files.
