I argue that the high percentage of PNe that are shaped by jets show that main sequence stars in binary systems can accrete mass at a high rate from an accretion disk and launch jets. Not only this allows jets to shape PNe, but this also points to the importance of jets in other types of binary systems and in other processes. These processes include the grazing envelope evolution (GEE), the common envelope evolution (CEE), and the efficient conversion of kinetic energy to radiation in outflows. As well, the jets point to the possibility that many systems launch jets as they enter the CEE, possibly through a GEE phase. The other binary systems where jets might play significant roles include intermediate-luminosity optical transients (ILOTs), supernova impostors (including pre-explosion outbursts), post-CEE binary systems, post-GEE binary systems, and progenitors of neutron star binary systems and black hole binary systems. One of the immediate consequences is that the outflow of these systems is highly-non-spherical, including bipolar lobes, jets, and rings.

    Higher-metallicity massive stars show larger accretion-driven luminosity increases despite being more extended, and flip to a cool inflated state at lower accretion rates than low-metallicity stars.
