You could probably make a feature request: https://features.jellyfin.org
I doubt very much Jellyfin is better than Plex, but I still like Jellyfin better.
When recommending a media library to someone, I make sure they know of Jellyfin, but I suspect for most, Plex is the better option.
Plex is a for profit product and so they have a lot of money and incentive to make it an easy, feature rich experience because if they don't, they don't make money.
Jellyfin is a free open source project built and ran by volunteers. The only money involved is their expenses, which they have recently asked people to stop making donations to the project because the donations have far exceeded their expenses. https://opencollective.com/jellyfin/upda...-seriously
You could also try contributing to the project: https://jellyfin.org/contribute/
Doing so will free up time and resources of others to implement the specific features you want.
