Interestingly if Google did release readily available video models then they'd likely be dealing with an order of magnitude of scale in the same way GitHub has had to.

Causing less content to be uploaded, when you are clearly the gorilla in the room, looks to be a wise strategy not a trade off.

I'm not sure I follow - do you mean an order of magnitude of compute demand?

Releasing models openly doesn't mean providing the compute. It's beneficial for relatively GPU-poor Chinese orgs to let users run models themselves - by releasing the models openly - as it means the orgs don't have to provide the compute to run their own models.
