A file download is a pretty big commitment for an "explanation". I'm going to pass on that. :/

What browser do you use that can't play webm?

Clicking that link in Firefox immediately offers up a file download. So does IE. I'd test with Edge, but my Edge is broken. :( I'm guessing you use Google's browser and Google doesn't assume Google's video format is a download when passed as a URL?
