For HDR, in particular, it is becoming imperative to use LAV Filters for all playback. There is even some early support in LAV Filters for at least recognizing HDR10+ and HLG, and supposedly the Nvidia video drivers may have some test code support for Dolby Vision (How that might work seems up in the air in terms of the new methods that may be on the horizon to rip and play Dolby Vision content). LAV Filters alone would not be compatible with Kodi VideoPlayer.
However, nobody else has requested or asked for the same issue, even if this particular DSplayer thread has so many people watching it....
I don't see any need to bash VideoPlayer. It is what it is and a good media player, not a poor one. The best you can do is request "realistic" features that could be added at some point in the future.
