Isn't this something that can be added to the base?

yes but it has some related problems if the user will want it since the intel media driver non free provides support for proprietary quicksync codecs which have a proprietary license

can be possible to just add these in base image and not provide the non-free driver, but the free driver have minor capatibilities then non-free package. but can be better i will send a commit for base

Hi, I checked Ubuntu repos, seems like this isn't added by default so I think the first setup is itself fine.

This PR is very outdated so I'm gonna close it. First-Setup doesn't handle installing drivers anymore.
