Isn't the whole purpose of pre-encoding before uploading is so that you shrink the file size and upload faster?

Why would I want to upload 4GB of video when I can encode it down to 700MB then upload?

It's not for end-users. It's a service for developers to add to their web application. You can certainly try to coax all your users into pre-encoding their video - and understanding how to do that - if you like....
