Billion dollar costs aren't rounding errors even at YouTube/Google's scale. They're a measurable percentage of total revenue. I agree that it slightly improves the user experience, it's hard to imagine a worse cost/benefit tradeoff from an engineering perspective even at more realistic costs. It's especially hard to justify when there's an easy alternative for users in the form of downloading videos.
