> Is there a way YouTube could alter the "view count" to only include views where 100% of the video has been watched?

You wouldn't want to require 100%, as many people stop when a video starts rolling credits, or when it switches to a screen using annotations to link to other videos. But 50-75% would work well as a threshold to count "views".
