So I can't speak for the entire team on this, but I do want to just add a little context here. I think the biggest obstacle for the addition of lyrics display is that there isn't an open alternative to the commercial services like Gracenote, which are expensive. Since Jellyfin is FOSS software, there is no subscription or sales price or anything which can be used to pay the expensive licensing fees that the lyrics providers require. So one of the biggest obstacles here really has nothing to do with Jellyfin: there just isn't an open source of this data right now, I believe, and one would need to be created.
