Just lousy storage on these fire sticks, and they don't work if you lose Internet. They won't access a Plex server locally if they can't run it through Amazon's spy crap.

Regarding offline use during an internet outage, you are incorrect.
Although inconvenient, if your internet is out, and you firetv UI is blank, you can still go to settings (it's shown on the main screen) then to applications and choose plex and launch it. If plex is configured for local use, you will have no trouble accessing your libraries.
I just unplugged my cable modem to try it.
Although it wouldn't be intuitive for grandma, anyone who has a plex server is savvy enough to access it this way during an outage.
