The current Activity only version is unusable for more advanced use cases such as showing multiple small players in a view or simply embedding a video player in another view. As it stands, the only use case for the native SDK is showing a fullscreen player, which is very limiting and forces the usage of the less performant WebView player on Android for everything else. I get that it's an Activity for Picture-in-Picture support, but both variants could be offered to allow more flexibility for usage.
