I recently tested Jellyfin again and still miss a lot of features I like with Plex. I am a former Emby user and I don’t see why Jellyfin got so popular. I really want it to succeed, though

    Jellyfin is 100% free and open-source, it may miss some features but nothing behind a paywall. We made the choice of open-source over features (I can understand people going with plex, but I'm happy with jf)

    All good and if you are one of the contributors, you earn all the respect. By now, Emby will have a hard time to keep up with the development speed of Jellyfin. I just miss a few very important QoL features. I truly believe it is only a matter of time until they are added.

    A Netflix-like login screen, where you can see all the users and they are just protected by a simple PIN.

    You have a login screen with all users showing with their profile picture. For a while now. You can even make it look Netflix-like with Skin Manager plugin. And there's Quick Connect but it's for people already connected on another device.

    But tbf it's not on every login.
    So it's not really multi-user friendly.

    Right. I understand now, I've not used Netflix in 7 years. Yeah you have the user login screen before entering the password. I guess there's a workaround by autodeleting cookies but you'd have to re-enter the password (and it's not doable easily by grandma)
