Silly question, Wired. Would you ask why NBC keeps the Sci-Fi Channel alive under that name, or why Disney/ABC keeps ESPN alive under that name?
It's branding. "Google Video" has a certain meaning to viewers, and "YouTube" has a different meaning.
Even if they get the same backends, it would make sense to have more serious and educational videos on "Google Video", while music, entertainment and amateur videos live on "YouTube".
