I have a M1 Mac mini. It doesn't have a non-removable app called "DVD Player" on it. (Or, if it does, spotlight can't find it and I don't see it in the folder where I copied the 'apple droppings' apps to.)
I have an M1 MacBook Air. It exists - the easiest way to summon it is to put in a DVD, but it can also be found by perfectly typing “DVD Player” in Spotlight.
