In Vista I always install the VCP and x64 packages. I'll have to get W7 running again to see what it and what is not supported, and then Install VCP there and see if it makes a difference....
True, OOB is a good user experience - and that is precisely why WiMP 12 is supporting so many more formats - The M$ teams finally realized that they needed to have a better OOB experience as you neatly stated - but I think it is more than that - they want more users to stick with built in Windows resources and use less and less of outside resources - such as ffdshow, VLC, etc for Video, and XNView or IrfanView for images, and Foobar or WinAmp for music, etc.
