You're calling it dumbed down, as based on it not fitting your criteria 
of what you believe is appropriate (read: the web stays forever in '95).
They obviously prefer people stream it from their site, that the viewer
stays on their site, as do most website owners.

Because it was the place to view video material. They started with YT before
they began hosting on Cloudfront.

<https://web.archive.org/web/20120820142528/http://web.mit.edu/hml/ncfmf.html>

They didn't go TechTV  until:

<https://web.archive.org/web/20150918065825/http://web.mit.edu/hml/ncfmf.html>

And before you whine about it again, as one would reasonably expect, 
they're more  interested in promoting their own "ODL Video Services"  
than they are in promoting a 3rd party service like Cloudfront. They
aren't interested in being just a repository, they're more interested in
also being a destination (as a site owner you strive to keep viewers 
on *your* site... go figure).

I don't disagree but that's a different issue. It was possible to do that 
job correctly... they just didn't.

My point is you're whining about the effort it took to get something
for free... even when you offloaded that effort to someone else (owl).
