"This is not a burden we want to take on, as we don't have plans to release the feature in the product, or otherwise need it for development."

So, with not implemented video decoding in Firefox, here we are - patched Chromium packages in disributions seems like laptop/tablet users last resort, as upstream "don't have plans to release the feature in the product". I guess that why Chromium packages in Fedora is patched now.
