Comment:

 Interestingly, the block editor does allow embedding MOV files, and they
 play for me in Windows browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge-Chromium, IE11). So
 it's not consistent within WordPress.

 I still recommend converting video files to MP4 rather than using the
 filter to allow a less-supported format on individual sites.

 For the issue of how the unsupported media links display on attachment
 pages, I'd prefer to address the link itself instead of theme-by-theme
 edits (returning ticket to the Media component). Would wrapping the link
 in a paragraph tag be acceptable? Twenty Twenty and Twenty Twenty-One
 would center the paragraph.
