millions use the internet. they use it in 2 primary ways. email and web browsing. even the email is often done in the web environment.
RSS equally can keep the focus in the web environment as it is used to syndicate content across the web on sites who aggregate that content.
with audio + video + RSS, the same effect is achievable especially if the video is using flash (flv or swf) since it has the most vast install statistics.
so for the millions of internet users, their is little disruption in the rich media experience and this is a good thing.
the parallel involves the early adopter group which includes more hardcore rich media consumers. these people are willing and eager to stray from the web experience and use desktop applications to download and watch video, listen to audio. they will also synch it to mobile devices, remix it and redistribute it back to the internet etcetera...
both types of media consumers will always exist... maybe to a more balanced measure each passing month. the younger generations will actually themselves be a balance of these patterns... as they use the web and their local puters and mobile devices together as their needs, knowledge and usage of technology is increasingly better.
then there is the whole IPTV and passive Internet Video consumption stuff...
when we discuss these things.... its important to know the trends... or more accurately the evolution of the digital cultures.
just as many may not see the point in aggregating video, many do... because their is logic all around both perspectives.
it all depends on who you are and why you are consuming media and of course this varies among us all.

Yeah this is my experience with a lot of people I know. They really
don't see the point of aggregated video. And the reason flash video
will be around for a long time is because just about everyone can
view video in flash. There are a lot of people who won't, don't know
how, or can't install Quicktime, so flash video is a good failsafe
option.
