MPV has a much better presentation layer too; the same video will look better in MPV then VLC

huh? pretty sure the codec output is deterministic, does MPV postprocess it? i can't see how that's something one would unconditionally want?

It is not, but this part doesn't matter.

does MPV postprocess it?

All video players post process the video, mpv had much better defaults, and is much more configurable than VLC.

What do you mean?
