Plex has become a platform, and I imagine a certain number of their customers are revenue generating providers.

Emby still offers lifetime for $119 with a 30 device limit, but I'm not sure what it offers over Jellyfin.

Are there any advantages to Plex outside of being able to easily share and manage library access to many users? It's been a decade since I've used it.

Excellent automatic metadata determination. Dead easy to run/setup
