Comment (by joemcgill):

 Personally, I think it's ok to retain the MEJS library for shortcodes, but
 I don't think we need to prioritize upgrading the library, unless there is
 some real user benefit. We can also switch the shortcodes to using native
 with a documented way for sites that are relying on the MEJS library for
 styling purposes to retain its use.

 If there are a11y issues with using native HTML video components, then it
 seems we would need to address the same issues for non-shortcode uses as
 well, and using the same implementation for shortcodes that we use for
 blocks would make this less complex to solve.
