is it possible to do some kind of javascript/iframe hackery to make embedding work?

You maybe can come up with a technical solution, but the point is that it's not permitted. The article itself offers a solution to the problem of embedding (offering the video through a different website).

The article raises more interesting issues than this, however, such as why it's not allowed in the first place, and what needs to change to make it allowed.

I've seen some weird hacks that sort of get you embedding of embed-disabled videos, but they're incredibly fragile, and tend to break whenever YouTube makes any change to their layout.
