This sort of statement pretty much invalidates any other statement you
might
make in this email. It's just beyond silly.
It might invalidate his other statements for you, fine, but that does not
mean it invalidates anything for others. There is nothing wrong with
expressing personal opinions. Yeah, the sentence "no one uses it" is
probably not based on actual data, but that does not mean that Michael
might not have valid arguments.
It's hard for end-users to know what to install, where to install it from,
and how to get those GStreamer plugins installed.
Is it more difficult than installing Totem from elsewhere? I don't think
so.
The end-user interaction would be better by making them install from
Flathub,
rather than trying to figure out how to install codecs from a third-party
repository. I don't _think_ it's better, I know it to be better.
And I know it is not. It's still far better to at least have some media
player included by default, even if it's not able to play every media file
that user has.
