Except in situations exactly like this one. A user shouldn't have to worry about local vs remote videos if they want to share the link outside the fediverse and someone clicking that link definitely shouldn't have to know about instances, federation, etc to be able to watch the video. Clicking the link should take them to a watchable video; if for some reason, it's not available for watching on the instance, it should use a http redirect instead of loading an intermediary page
