Shhhh, don't give them ideas.

  They definitely have had the idea for a long time. It is almost certainly a technical limitation stopping them. I'd guess that decoding, splicing, and then re-encoding is too compute intensive for it to be worth it.

    No need to re-encode the video. Just split the video at a keyframe and inject an ad at that point, no re-encoding required. Most video files have keyframes every few seconds or so. The proper term is I-frames, though they're commonly known as keyframes as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression_picture_types https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression_picture_type...

      Not so easy with audio. With any variable bitrate audio codec, there will be sync problems.
