That might be a side effect. But what you're really after when measuring the
performance of video at the client is the quality at which the video is
presented to users. That may have nothing to do with the browser: it can have a
lot of different causes including poor network performance, machine overload
with other processes (so the video decoder starves) or a poor video card.

The idea is that if a user complains to a publisher that their experience is
bad that the publisher has a means to track down exactly what is causing that
poor experience.
