Remember, I'm not youtube with millions of dollars and hundreds of programmers. I can only use conventional tools. And they simply don't work as you expect with videos that people here upload. Believe me, I've done a lot of experiments on this matter. I could indeed convert most of the videos manually, but on auto it just doesn't work. Many videos are not recognized, some lose a lot of quality and some inflate to enormous size like 10 times instead of reducing. There is no unanimity among uploaders. Their video formats are very different. So basically I have 2 choices:

1. Reject about half of uploaded material and convert the rest. Which will discourage a lot of uploaders.
2. Allow everyone upload anything and hope that viewers find their way to watch the videos.

I have not seen any video here that I'm unable to view. VLC player can decode almost anything, GOM is just a bit worse. And they are free, so anyone can use them. So I chose 2nd option.

How come I can't watch any videos made with an I-Phone? Even my own that I made with the same phone??

Good Idea
