This is where we say switch to Linux, right?
The problem is like that xkcd comic about experts underestimating the common person's knowledge in their field. Linux is still not user friendly enough for the vast majority of people. Linux users just don't seem to understand that most people are in the "wtf is a distro?" level of knowledge and would absolutely panic at the mere sight of a terminal.
I've used Linux for 20 years and don't even know what MPV is without looking it up.
Pretty sure that's not an issue for any average user.
Why would anyone need a replacement for VLC?
Also, Gnome, KDE, Xfce, LXQt all come with a video player out of the box that's much better suited for newbies.
If you're installing MPV, you're looking for it and probably know why you want it.
