Ogg is the only media format that allows for perfect usability out of the box.
That's true if and only if you're running a recent Linux or other free
*nix distribution. :)
For most other people, it's the proprietary formats that run out of the
box. Thus there is some argument that providing multiple formats
provides greater utility -- then more people get the out-of-the-box
experience.
However that's dependent on the legal issues being sufficiently resolved
that we feel comfortable producing and distributing content in those
formats.
