To Jellyfin a SMB share mapped to a drive letter is the same as an actual local disk. With UNCs, Jellyfin has to directly handle the file accesses over the SMB share. With drive letters, the OS handles the the SMB process.
Opting to remove direct UNC functionality from Jellyfin reduces the increasingly large and complex Jellyfin code base. New and consistent code contributors and reviewers are few and far between.
