Not every Jellyfin user is also the server administrator. If someone sets up a server and shares that server with 5 people, most of those users aren't concerned with the privacy implications of how they connect to the server; they just want to consume content as easily as they do with Netflix, Disney, etc.
That's true but every Jellyfin host has to be.
