It's so weird though. Do they not know it exists? Do they expect their customers not to know it exists?
When your primary competition is free (and arguably better), the last thing one should think to do is raise prices.
I can only assume that some C-suites are looking at numbers and don't know what else to do but make the product more expensive.
Jellyfin isn’t arguably better, especially for some of tne main things people use Plex for - remote streaming and library sharing. Jellyfin pretty much doesn’t support them.

That's the arguably part. The argument.
So...
What is the argument for jellyfin? It's basically the exact same thing without the relay servers or no-setup remote streaming and sharing.
