The loss of codec support in Quicktime was probably related to improving battery life by forcing use of H264, which is hardware accelerated.

Whether this is wise is a different question.

But no you're right, there is a definite pattern of feature loss going back to iMovie HD 5. I'm still using Pages '09 because it does what I want and feels snappier.

Also the entirety of Quicktime Pro, which enabled full transcoding control was lost.
