2. Google Fedora media player
3. Get to either Totem/VLC flathub pages with all the codecs
4. Click on install button

That's a possibility, yes.
I don't see the benefit of removing Totem from Fedora, it is just
going to
hurt users who play files encoded in some open format. It is not going to
help anybody else.
Making sure the 17- or 19-step flow can't happen is a pretty big one.
In any case, one of two things needs to happen:
- either we keep totem in, and somebody needs to fix PackageKit-gstreamer
to actually follow the interface it needs to have
- or we remove totem, and we need to figure out what to do with that
