Nonsense. All I do is press a couple buttons on my remote to navigate to
the thing I want to play. In most cases, it's one to three button
presses (Computers > Movies > Blah for instance). 

In contrast, you have to:

1. Log into your computer.
2. Spotlight search for the file you want to play.
3. Open the file in QuickTime Player or some other suitable app.
4. Play the movie through AirPlay.

Your AirPlay-from-computer method is much more slow and cumbersome.
That's all there is to it.
