It's mostly that I despised the way that, fundamentally, plex was in control of what user saw when they first logged in. They kept adding bs and less technical users kept feeling like the rug was pulled out from under them when a bunch of stuff would change.
Jellyfin doesn't give me the control I'd like to have, but it does give me what I consider essential. This may improve when the team transitions to a from-scratch web client[1] rather than the forked-from-emby client.

I tried https://github.com/alexmerkel/archivetube but it was not a great experience.
I felt that keeping it in Jellyfin and grabbing metadata using https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin was nicer. Plus way more client support than just a web browser.
