For one many countries have anti-discrimination laws that disallow including photos into a CV.
For me it's the asymetry in effort. If I interview with a company, I get to ask questions myself and get a feel for what working there might be like. When asked to record questions myself with no guarante someone ever looks at it beyond the initial 30sec, I would discard that as a waste of my time.
For example we, as a industry decided that whiteboard interviews about algorithm efficiency are a major red flag unless you are hired to solve those problems at your daily work.
If prerecorded interviews becomes a new industry standard among HR, I will go out of my way to find companys where I get to talk to real people at interviews.
