How can anyone rely on a third party business to host content for free, forever?

Just because it’s worked for years doesn’t make it so forever.

The trust and reliance on Google for free video hosting seems both foolish and dangerous.

Nothing is forever, including your own copies. Put it on youtube and keep a local backup. Most likely the local backup will get lost before the youtube one does. It's most likely the youtube copy will last longer than your company does.

Unless you are running a sole proprietorship, any business is composed entirely of 'third parties'.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm for a classic take on the subject.
