Considering the answers you've got so far, I have nothing better to suggest but a single question because you've intrigued me ;)
=> Do you mind sharing a practical use case of such a request please?

Indeed, from my side, even if I like the technical aspect of this request I can only see problems ahead: numerous redundant packages / choice overload in your desktop environment, increase of the attack surface, required storage space, upgrades more frequent/time-consuming...

NB: If multimedia is your hobby or job and you need to have the whole toolset, maybe you should look for a specialized Linux distribution instead (AV Linux, UbuntuStudio, LibreELEC...).
See https://distrowatch.com/search.php?ostype=Linux&category=Multimedia&origin=All&basedon=All&notbasedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&package=All&rolling=All&isosize=All&netinstall=All&language=All&defaultinit=All&status=Active#simple
