I've had custom global hotkeys for stuff in MacOS for over a decade.

But that's not how things like playback controls are implemented - they have non-extensible separate APIs for that. That's the point.

You've also been given a raft of other functions that depend on them in this thread.

I'm not sure what your hangup here actually is.

IME, most of those functions tend to get implemented in the DE when it turns out they're actually useful, or some other mechanism can be used to activate them. So no reason to get hung up on that particular method to do it either.
