HDR10 - Open standard for HDR.
HDR10+ - Royalty-free standard for HDR.
Dolby Vision - Proprietary standard for HDR made by Dolby.
The device needs to be licensed by Dolby to play DV files. When you buy a TV, Firestick, Nvidia Shield, etc. those devices are licensed to play DV and the apps on them can play DV. Your computer does not have a license* so it can’t decode DV files properly, the best it can do is fallback to HDR(if supported) or tonemapped.
It's not a Jellyfin issue but an issue with DV and Windows. There have been recent developments in playing DV files in Windows, but it is still very hacky and restrictive and certainly doesn’t work with Jellyfin.
*or if it does, the app needs to have specific specifications such as using the built-in Windows media player with the official Dolby extensions
