For some folks it may be better/more intuitive. It doesn’t hurt anybody by existing.
We all compromise with different tools in our lives in different ways. It just reads to me like an odd axe to grind.
Simply put: What is so bad about the existence of this project?

Yes, that was a bit facetious of me, I apologize for that.

Being very blunt: The fact that it reinforces the extremely common misconception that a) converting between containers like mkv and mp4 will always require reencoding and that b) there is a single way to reencode a video (hence suggesting that there is no "bad" way to reencode a video), seeing as next to no encoding settings are exposed.
