Cool, but why does that mean they need to write a codec for you for free?

They don't need to, they're free to become IE6.

I don't think it's irrational to be upset when a (near-)monopoly browser holds back useful features. Even if said browser is provided for free.

They are IE6. They have near total market dominance, and dictate web standards. It's a very comparable situation to IE6 days.
