My guess is because embedded videos take a while to load on slower connections, so if everyone could post videos on a whim, some of the users might find it a hassle to load certain topics, even if they don't want to watch the video at all.

Yep - not only does an embedded video require a certain amount of streaming to even initialize on the page, it also takes more system resources to render the player. Plus then we'd constantly have to teach people how to embed stuff.
