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.
