They want global distribution on all platforms. Simple. With tens of thousands of paying customers, their wants and needs are far and wide.
If Apple Podcasts said we make Video a first-class citizen again with no change to the current distro, aka fixed media. MP4, then all the podcast hosts will have to support it as it is.
The HLS discussion is an attempt aka attempt to drive the narrative, as only three podcast hosts today support MP4 delivery.
So maybe you see my reluctance.
