So somehow the small gang at Mojang pulled off the impossible with Minecraft? Or the excellent apps NASA used to make with Java before the past 3 years or so like WorldWind? Or FusionCharts?
I said "lagging", not non-existent. And clearly individuals can add support for things that aren't part of the JDK, using various OSS libraries, JNI, custom code, whatever. The point is, the lack of up-to-date, high-quality support for audio and video formats is a major detriment to "java on the desktop" for a wide range of applications.

Apache Directory Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans, soapUI, SQL Developer?
What do any of these things have to do with needing audio/video support?
