Well, we only have so much we can work with, and it's worth remembering that most mobile devices are intended to serve other purposes first and be browsers and video players second. If the goal was just to make a great mobile browser and video player, it'd be easier, but hardware, battery power, etc, has to be dedicated to other purposes on the device (like maintaining a connection to a cellular network, etc), and that means constantly being between a rock and a hard place on the design phase.
