As someone else mentioned, this is only available to PlexPass users. Sorry for the confusion! I bought my lifetime sub over a decade ago at this point and forget about these inconsistencies that used to just be part of the product.
Yes I am, but I don’t want to give full control of my network drive to a closed source application because it paywalled me out of being able to access my media on my local network. It’s ridiculous that I have to do that. It breaks ECI, and is a security risk. And yeah, it’s a bit paranoid, but the fact that they can fix it with a simple config and put that behind a paywall is VERY worrisome, so I now need to pay if I want to isolate Plex from the host where it’s running.

Therefore it’s literally impossible for me to watch my media locally, way to go Plex.

Are you running in docker? Change from bridged mode to host mode on your container which should resolve this.
