Nobody is denying Physics Girl's credit. I'm sure Physics Girl does appreciate her content being promoted for free, even by your despised Sun Gazing. Tell me one online personality who wouldn't want free "good" publicity?
Physics Girl does receive revenue from the embedded video as well.

The party that "loses out" to some extent is YouTube, since the user would not be taken to YouTube. However, YouTube does allow embedding, with the purpose of linking to content to generate traffic.
Looking at the 78 FB comments on the Sun Gazing post, it seems Sun Gazing is also a community. Surely an online community is not of "zero value".
The content creator benefits by getting publicity & money. The aggregator's audience benefits by getting content they want to see on their FB feed. YouTube benefits by getting traffic. Hacker News readers benefit from seeing the video in the first place. Seems symbiotic to me...
