How is this any different than 360 videos on YouTube?

With this you can host your own 360° videos, and don't need YouTube. This is in particular interesting if you want to monetize by your own, e.g., through ads or subscription. It's basically the infrastructure you need to build Netflix-like services.

I'm pretty sure you can't host it yourself. If you want to use their framework, I'm pretty sure you have to host it through them. At least, I can't find a download link anywhere.

yes, you can download the video assets after encoding + download the player for self-hosting
