Well, part of it is being on Hacker News, which will definitely skew towards "self-host everything!", and on top of that Jellyfin is genuinely free and open-source while the more popular alternative (Plex) isn't, so probably more popular here again, and not necessarily reflective of the popularity amongst self-hosters in general!
I definitely wouldn't expect it to be high on the list of priorities, but I do appreciate that it's under consideration at the very least.
I thought of it as a niche feature because I thought most of the users would come from language learning communities, where most people are not into self-hosting. So even if someone would set up a server just for this, chances are they do not have or interested in Jellyfin also. But I've seen several comments about it, and it seems like a lot of people are from the self-hosting community so maybe it's more popular.
I'm also planning to support YouTube and improve on Jellyfin support, but I'll work on other issues and features first.
