But there's also a matter of perspective at play here. People in this thread are suggesting Kodi on Rasbian because, it's possible to play videos that way, despite the inferior performance. I assumed that The Rasberry Pi Foundation's goal was to include video playback, but were not concerned with optimization. Perhaps I was wrong in that assumption? I can try to let them know about the problems.

Did you also send in bug reports for those Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS) problems?
Without each people doing their part, those troubles will not go away anytime soon.
Why would I need to do that when we have Christopher Barnatt? If they don't listen to him, they won't listen to anyone. He covers the whole thing here, including the video performance comparisons:

We know Kodi works in Rasbian, but it stutters, has screen tears, and artifacting even in 1080p. Forget 4k.
What you get with Kodi on Libreelec:
Better frame rate.
No dropped frames.
No artifacting.
No screen tears.
Libreelec was created for people who want an entertainment experience Rasbian can't provide.
