With internet video now just a <video>-tag and a CDN away, I really don't understand why people have such a hard time doing this.

I can see why private individuals might prefer something free, but for organizations or other professional actors which are publishing high-quality video-productions, they already have a budget, and frankly the BW cost is probably going to be the smallest expense on their list.
And when they risk losing their platform and audience at a whim (as we've seen Google do repeatedly to certain types of organizations over at YouTube), I can't see why more people don't consider other options which leaves them in full control over their own content.
Also, because Google pays you to host your videos, if you are willing to allow advertising.
I say it’s a more than good enough delivery “platform” for this kind of stuff.
