I probably should have expected stuck-up retards like you to immediately
complain about "just do it yourself harr harr harr". I specifically
created this to serve as a discussion piece, not for some 50 year old
corporate slave to immediately start hurling cope at me.
I actually did plan to port it eventually, but now I don't really feel
like doing it anymore because of your incredibly dismissive attitude
towards the mere thought of someone making an objectively good change.
Maybe I'll do it someday but add a clause to the license stating that
you must not be named Rémi Denis-Courmont to use this. :)

Again, unnecessarily dismissive. There are a huge number of use cases
for MSVC, because it is by far the most used compiler for desktop
targets. Do note that MinGW-built static libraries are not compatible
with MSVC executables.

Ultimately you're free to port the FFmpeg build system to CMake yourself (or
pay someone to do so), and submit a PR showing how so much better it actually
is. Just don't be surprised if people reject it on the basis that it does not
work or is no better, or even actually worse, for most purposes other than
building FFmpeg on MSVC.
By the way, that includes building FFmpeg for Windows with an actual C/C++
toolchain (MingW or LLVM/Clang) from Linux or WSL, rather than using a sorry
approximation of one such as MSVC.
However your phrasing seems to indicate that you have no intention of actually
conducting that work. So then, there is no point in continuing this
discussion, because nobody else is going to try to do such it either.
