I wouldn't have an objection to paying them for that.
I did object them to them trying to charge me to stream from my server to my TV in the same house without touching any of Plex's infrastructure at all, because their license-check is too dumb to understand some of us use things like "subnets". (I objected even more that their "support" teams are evidently staffed by obnoxious jerks trained only to say "give us money".)
Fortunately I found the switch to Jellyfin incredibly easy, and so far it's actually been more reliable than Plex ever was.
