Those extra features which aren't worth it to you are worth it to me. It gives me an easy way to share movies with my father and cousin and kids, all in different places these days. It gives me intro skip.
If I didn't care about those things, I wouldn't use a media server at all. I'd just point Infuse at an NFS share.
Besides that, I purchased the lifetime pass in 2014 when I don't think Jellyfin even existed.
FWIW, I've been using Plex for a very long time, since when it was XBMC. I originally ran it on an Xbox.
It just works for me. The only thing that really annoys me about Plex is that it requires an active Internet connection. If my ISP goes down, I can't access my media via Plex. That's just dumb.

Otherwise, I'm happy with it.
