And you actually belive that people won't install this just the same but will be "pissed" that it is not easy to do it but they need to "jump through hoops" and there are legal ways to do this. Plus we have selinux on by default to protect from badly behaving programs - closed source and open source alike. Other distributions don't have selinux installed so that is an extra layer of protection for security of fedora users... Plus if you look at reviews of linux distributions most of them have a category "How easy is it to go to youtube and watch videos" because that is what desktop users do and expect from any desktop.
