He doesn't get that iTunes is not a media player, but a music and video shop sneakily embedded in your computer. Media player functionality is only added there to lure you in so you would buy content from Apple.

Obviously, Apple doesn't care for your youtube videos. But I wouldn't expect a Keynesist to understand the nuances of how modern products are structured and real product often concealed behind a freebie.

If you want a media player, just download one. My favourite is AVPlayer for iPhone (and AVPlayer HD for iPad). Plays all formats I tried.

Shame they don't offer an easy way to get files into the iPhone.

But that would get in the way of lock in.
