Windows would be greatly improved if it would let you bind VLC as the default handler of exe files

Mp4 and mkv are container formats. Your comment is somewhat equivalent to “where are you guys getting text files that can’t be displayed, I’ve only ever seen zip files”.

The codec in the container is what needs to be played, and can fail to render correctly.
