What low key UX improvements would you like to see in linux desktop environments?
It’s still being worked on. A new repository was made to add support for latest swaylock changes, but it’s currently broken. Let’s hope it’s fixed soon

there's the mpv-mpris plugin which solves this btw
- mpv Gnome support

Media Controls Don't Show up in GNOME
afaik mpv doesn't support that itself but you can get most of the media control functionality with the mpv-mpris plugin
-
gnome-mpv/celluloid: please implement a one click gui option to mute e.g. right click on volume button
As I usually run mpv from the CLI or another program and control it via the keyboard, that doesn't sound like the wrapper adds anything I'd personally have a use for. BTW, controlling plain mpv via MPRIS just requires the mpv-mpris plugin to be installed.

Use the C plugin instead, which is still being maintained: https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris
