Even if the file size was small, getting that video to play everywhere was rough.
That's because not every program has support for video. And a lot of people read on an eInk device such as a Kobo, Kindle, Pocketbook, etc. which doesn't have support for video. Some eInk Readers might support video, most don't.

IMHO, video is a lost cause. Same with audio.
