Finding a software player or codec usually is not the problem for a
hardware manufacturer. Licensing and patents are.

This is less of an issue for open-source software players because you
download and use them yourself as a user but a hardware vendor can't
just ship these players, he would still have to get the licenses.

Also, VLC is under GPL which means you can't integrate it with
proprietary software.
