Surely this won't inevitably lead to them feeling the need to sunset the features that made them what they are.

When Plex Originals show up, it's over.

God imagine that... Sounds far fetched but with how much dumb shit tech companies seem to be doing, it wouldn't surprise me at all

Doubt that store would ever be able to compete with all the other services. They try to diversify which makes sense. And if they do stupid things? Well, alternatives already exist, so I am not too worried in the slightest. They put in quite some serious effort into their music player Plexamp with AI features for local music very recently.
