Because some of the codecs and/or video formats are tightly controlled
by the copyright mafia and any commercial company is unable to
distribute them. This is independent of whether the DVD is encrypted or
not. I have a bunch of video clips here (jokes made on and for
microsoft) for which 9.1 doesn't ship any software which can play them.
