Why web-componentize videojs?

It seems to me that you've taken something that would work passably in many cases with javascript disabled, and made it completely javascript dependent. For the millions of people for whom TOR+nojs is the only way to browser the internet without fear of brutal retribution, you've just screwed them out of video on the open web. It's a cool demo and proof-of-concept, but especially for sites operating on a traditional publishing model, it seems like this markup pattern should be avoided. I want to see a web where the TOR experience remains acceptable, or at least not non-existent.

Thoughts? (I'm not trolling. I'm a huge fan, and I've learned a ton from your posts over the years.)
