Didn't think that it makes sense for mpv - it can totally "play" jpegs
and other images, and has options for these, as well as any binary file
one can imagine (e.g. with the right ffmpeg pipeline setup in lua).
So these internal restrictions seemed to be kinda bogus for it.

But do see what you mean with skipping files in context of music albums.

Guess it'd indeed be best to restrict it like that by default and let
people who want to use mpv for non-audio/video override it.
