Yes but someone can easily make a browser extension that kills it for them.
Or use firebug and inject javascript into the page.
I think people stopped embedding videos and started using third party tools because it makes it easier. Third party tools will always make it easier. No need to worry about bandwidth, file space, etc (even if the cost of these items are going down). And as long as these tools make it easier, these tools will probably want control of their players and will want to put ads in them.
