The origin is that Windows 10 was a free upgrade (as Windows 11). Microsoft had similar codecs as optional in the past. It's all about licensing.
OEM can have their codec from elsewhere as any modern GPU includes it and pays licensing fees.
As a reminder, also Apple had similar things back in the days. Sadly I can not remember what it was good enough to find it. It was related to camera or video codec maybe a long time ago. (Hope someone remembers what it was)
