Avidemux is another alternative existing for many years. I've used it a lot to quickly edit videos without recompression - saved me tons of time.

Yes, I recall using Avidemux for this purpose roughly 20 years ago.

Fun fact: The history of lossless editing goes back to the dawn of digital video on personal computers. For example, QuickTime Movies¹ have always been based on an EDL² model. Only when you "export" (vs. "save") is the content re-encoded.
The most popular tool in this category that I know of is https://mifi.no/losslesscut/.

That's the way video editing in general has always worked.

It has existed for decades.
