These systems haven't been 'engineered' not to play MP3s, 'burnt' music, etc. This is up to the manufacturer to give their machines the 'power' to read CD-Rs and different formats. Software does factor into this as you said. The machine must have the codecs to interpret the format on the CD, DVD, etc. Some machines will play DVD/VCD/Music CDs/MP3/SVCDs.....get the picture. But, it must have the correct software and Hardware..ie the right type of laser...or it just won't work. My JVC DVD player will play my 'burnt' music, factory music, DVDs, and VCDs that I make myself. BTW, VCD stands for Video CD..an MPEG-1 file converted into a format that a stand alone DVD player can read and interpret. There is no "Law" that I know of that prohibits companies from allowing their systems to read this stuff. That's why the DVD disc is protected in most cases. You just can't copy it and sell it.
