If Jellyfin would do such stupid thing, somebody would fork it to a new project
in fact this did already happened in the past: Jellyfin was forked of Emby after they changed their license
Jellyfin is unable to do that because they don't have centralised auth like Plex does.
Not like it could be implemented.
But the the community would (as OP said) fork the project.
There's absolutely zero way that is going to get pulled into the actual Jellyfin project, hence a fork is unnecessary.
It's unreasonable to take responsibility for apps a user runs on their server.
But when you all of a sudden see a heap of Plex IP addresses hitting your provider with mass media sharing rings you've got problems.
Jellyfin however is just serving HTTP/S. Thats it. You can't ban Nginx or Apache.
