I would; that's 2 extra commands that install an additional (unofficial? OBS is like the AUR or PPAs) repo and then install stuff from it, and you have to know to run them at all. Like, it's good that it's in the wiki, but compare the process for a new user:

OpenSuse:
1. Open firefox, go to youtube or whatever.
2. Get error message about unsupported format.
3. Do a web search on that error.
4. Hopefully stumble across https://en.opensuse.org/Codecs and thence https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_r...
5. Run the needed 2 commands to install codecs
Debian:
1. Open firefox, go to youtube or whatever.
(There is no step 2)
