Community and hobby projects can just as well patch FFmpeg. In fact, they can
more easily do so as they don't have to go through corporate compliance
theatrics on how to (not) patch external projects or OSS code.

Well no, it is quite hard to check something false.
Red Hat and most enterprise distros do not.
Fedora does not.
Ubuntu ships a cut-down version in their main repositories.
And sure, you can get FFmpeg from external repositories, but that's exactly
how you get into versioning, and why people embed FFmpeg to avoid it.

Does not parse.
