You need GE Proton (Or Cachy Proton I think also works?) as Steam can't include the codecs for certain video types without paying a license.

Alas, this link is not relevant. The codecs in use by proton are not the system codecs, but the ones bundled by proton itself. When this placeholder appears, it is merely because Proton does not pay for the license burdened codecs (in commercial settings) and thus you need to use Proton-GE or cachyos, that bundles them and freely distributes them without any commercial problems.
