Forgot: and enabling by default will not make them happy because
it will break some files and make seeking behave badly with all.

I can see that for MXF it is not going to be very convincing case,
but for AVI one of the biggest issues was actually with torrents:
They can easily end up with an index that looks almost ok, except
that somewhere in the middle there is a block of 0s instead of a proper
index.
