IIRC, it's because it is allowed to do so in such a general sense.
But pointing directly to a particular codec package or automatically
enabling it when you try to use such a codec crosses the line into
contributory infringement.

Most of what can be done within the confines of U.S. law is being
done.  The legal team at Red Hat are pretty good folks, IMO.
