That might be true if you only consider commercial projects. For
community projects and hobby projects, that is certainly not true at

And I want to emphasize that community projects and hobby projects
deserve our consideration as much as commercial projects.

Debian and its derivatives make already a significant part of the
available distros.

But it is quite easy to check that most other distros do have shared
FFmpeg on the system. So I wonder one would utter such an obvious
falsehood.
