It's not only Youtube, many if not most sites do this. If you start with YT, where do you stop?

When users stop requesting it. It's really easy to create a .config or xml file with a new entry that the site can read without making changes to the code. If a request is popular enough, add it to the file as a new line and call it a day.

Exactly, no reason to make "better" the enemy of "perfect".

Aye, getting something 95% of the way there is easy and usually cheap. That last 5% or so percent is what kills ya.
