Plex is actually a fork of Kodi (XBMC). Kodi is still actively developed, and easily supports both local media (for example, downloaded using one of the *arrs) and streaming from various sources using addons.

I remember xbmc from back when you had to run an injection from a MechWarrior save file in order to load it onto the og Xbox.

Still got my copy of MW

That's like saying humans evolved from monkeys. Plex and Kodi share a common ancestor, XBMC.

No it's not. Kodi is XBMC, they just changed the name.

Right, so they share the common ancestor of XBMC from around 2007.

You can literally say the same thing about any fork, and yet nobody ever does. I'll reiterate, Kodi is XBMC - there was no fork, no split in development, only a rename.
