Comment (by swissspidy):

 > ATM wp also uses an older mediaelement lib, so I cannot use the
 sourcechooser feature for changing sources e.g. from 1080p to 720p like
 youtube is doing it. I'm forced to replace the lib or switch to video.js.

 WordPress 4.6 ships with MEdiaElement.js 2.22.0, the latest version.

 > video.js is only a video player, MediaElement.js also handles audio
 files, so we would need to start shipping both in that case)

 That alone is reason enough to not do some unnecessary replacement.
