they're trying to double as a streaming platform (like roku channel, tubi, etc) for mass-market media. that creates a conflict between the big studios licensing that content to them and the platform's common historical use case. they may have to choose 'one or the other', and i would not be surprised if further 'actions' are taken by plex to curb (or outright remove support for) media 'sharing'.
Or neither option: Launch a streaming platform. No, don't morph smth everyone loves into a streaming platform. Plex's marketing for their streaming vision is so piss poor that the only people who know about it use Plex for a use case that clashes with this new vision.
