I understand this, but Elementary must first and foremost look super
nice with the default video player in Elementary. Having many video
players is not the typical Elementary use case IMHO.

Of course, it must be possible to distinguish between different
programs, but in IMHO we need to focus on getting one browser, one
video player, one music player, one text editor and so on, to be
Elementary "friendly" or "blessed".

best,
