This will turn any windows installation into Windows N if it's not a bug and it removes not only the player but also everything bundled with it.

Which could be a problem, since some software depends on media player codecs/libraries for playback - for example vivaldi browser has problems with some types of youtube codecs (with mime reported as AVC/mp4a.40.2 not pure AVC) without the media feature pack, some other video sites also have this problem without it.

That only tells you, that they lack frontend skills/manpower. But if it's most famous, means it works. Also, that tells you just about nothing about the site backend, where the coding happens. Programming competitions are not bootstrap time trials :)
