This will turn any windows installation into Windows N if it's not a bug and it removes not only the player but also everything bundled with it.

That only tells you, that they lack frontend skills/manpower. But if it's most famous, means it works. Also, that tells you just about nothing about the site backend, where the coding happens. Programming competitions are not bootstrap time trials :)
