That seems to be because Yahoo has chosen to create a Windows-specific
interface for their streaming media online that all but says "Mac
users are sh*t out of luck".

It seems to me they would have had to go out of their way to make this
so, since OS X can handle virtually all standard streaming formats
with the correct plug in (WMV, etc).

That aside, I would hardly call Yahoo media "most video clips". They
are but a mere fraction of what's out there and surely a unique
exception.
