I personally don’t really think Plex/Emby/Jellyfin are really “competing” with Apple. Jellyfin and the like require a geeky person to maintain and supply video files of their own, Apples products are easy and streamlined by design. They’re superficially kind of similar but, like, depending on how abstract we wanted to get we could basically say that anything is competitive with anything e.g. “Your product has text, and we sell books that contain text, so it’s competitive” Regardless, I guess what they said worked, because despite me not having worked for Apple for more than three years now, I still don’t want to open source I am still a bit worried about being sued (especially since I didn’t leave on the best of terms with them). That said, my current job is much more reasonable about this stuff (and also much more domain-focused), so maybe I’ll be able to dust off my public GitHub again some day. (Again, I am sure you can figure out which company I work at (I have public profiles) but I ask that you don’t post it here.)
