you can’t effectively make ios apps without one of those things...

  True, but it's ridiculously hostile to restrict access to free, public videos in such a way... What if I want to just check things out because I might be interested? Should I buy an iPhone on the off-chance that I find things interesting and might want to develop something later? Sheesh.

    The videos are only public because the creators chose to do that. Why is it "hostile" of them to choose a distribution mechanism relevant to the material? Why do you feel you have a right to demand they distribute this content -- which they made available for free -- in a manner you prefer?

      One can just ask the same questions reversed

        Yes, but they would make no sense.

      It's "hostile" because uploading to Youtube or Vimeo is just as much effort, if not less, than what they're doing. So it was a conscious choice to do what they did, in order to limit distribution. It's the same kind of control-freak, developer hostile attitude that Apple has in general regarding its development tools: total lock-in. Compare with Android in this regard.

    You might be interested in developing for iOS but don’t have an iOS device? Not even an AppleTV or Mac, both of which play itunesU content? Apple wants to still promote iTunesU, which offers a better user experience for learning content than Vimeo or YouTube. I don’t think they do, or should, worry about the 1% who want to watch and don’t have iOS devices.
