It’s not broken – it’s disabled, yes.

Not many, though. Because Plex does only store a history of “matched” media. So that “pr0n” should be listed on IMDb or TheMovieDB. And many pr0n titles are either not listed there at all.  
Some users of Plex for adult purposes use metadata delivered by custom metadata agents. And those custom metadata agents are not compatible with the watch history.
