cause they're owned by Google

same reason they cant into silverlight or flash player

That means they would have to add functionality to their os, can't have that

>>54649917
Just watched the trailer for that movie. It looks fucked up. It's not funny, it's disturbing.

>>54649932
Isn't it an open format, mister?

>>54649968
Flash is a security liability, no one wants to support it anymore, not even on the desktop.

>>54649968
But those are proletary formats, mister.

>>54649985
That's another reason why they don't support it

>>54649985
They want to render it obsolete by preventing a large part of the smartphone marketshare from using it, same with Flash.

Flash was full of security leaks. Webm is not. Since its no more than a codec.

>>54649917
QuickTime doesn't have it, so you can't use the iOS api to play it
You can however include a ffmpeg based video player in your app to play it

>>54649917
Same reason they can't into FLAC, Ogg, or Opus. It's free, and Apple'll have none of that.

>>54649993
The reasons for making it obsolete on desktop and mobile differ greatly. They wanted it off mobile cause muh keyboard and mouse.

>>54649917
Because Apple devices have hardware h.264 decoders.

Safari has an option to view them from the VLC app. Its inconvenient but it works.
