I don't know what you mean by "recognizing songs from musicbrainz", I've never used jellyfin to be able to compare. In my case, all files are tagged outside Navidrome.
All my players allow browsing by either Album Artist, Artist or Album. My folder layout follows this principle, so I'm happy with that.
But I can imagine layouts which don't adhere to this (classical music comes to mind), in which case I can see how not being able to get to the folders can be annoying.
Recognizing from MB is this: you have title1.mp3 and you can use MB fingerprint to detect song/album. Or song simply has subset of tags and MB fills up the rest, along with the links to MB details of artist/album where you can get tiny little details.
Discogs is a bit better in that, but its proprietary, so no.
Its anoying for me in any case.
I am more proficient with folders and have the number of tools to do so. Any GUI that streaming servers present is very unusable for me, I use it only for major happy case. Anything more advanced, I drop to the file system.
