TechCrunch has run multiple articles on this subject and concluded that h264 accounts for roughly 66% of the video on the web. That's a hell of a lot. So, when you say the Touch devices don't get most of the video, you would be wrong.
Plus, if you're going to accuse people of assuming out comes how bout not assuming WebM is going to be standard.
Also, there is no fight between h264 and HTML5, which you posted here:
Those are not mutually exclusive things. HTML5 can support h264, just like HTML4 has. So there isn't something over something else, especially when they're not of the same class.

No, you are confusing h.264 encoded and h.264 ipad accessible... MAJOR difference.
Just because a video is h.264 encoded DOES NOT mean it can be accessed by an ipad... now, if it is h.264 encoded AND the site has implemented html5 .. then yes... YouTube started down this path but has switched gears to webM... so currently, SOME video on youtube are supported but that number will onyl DECREASE as time goes on.
Yes HTML5 could support both h.264 and WebM... but that is not likely to happen.. the industry wants to settle on a SINGLE standard... currently there is NO standard for html5 video... PERIOD. The big boys are pushing for WebM and will probably get it.
Maybe it isn't a question of accepting facts... maybe it's that you guys just don't understand them.
