In general yes, in real - it depends
(as you see in ffmpeg, and many other programs)

And do you remember what I wrote?
"do not use .mpg without codec tweaking"



>> the "default" container that supports mpeg2video is .m2ts (then .ts)

m2ts is a newer version of m2t. m2t is just obsolete.
(in tv industry .ts is newer and better version of m2ts, for fun)


btw. I don't really know why we're arguing. You wanted explanations,
so I explained - it is as it is, not as you would like it to be.
