I belive that using some specific format can't be a reason
for anti-trust. Dropping support for some random codec can't
be a problem. Specially when you give the whole product free
for all of your competitors (if they promise not to attack
the format with patents).
I'm 100% sure Youtube will be WEBM only. If not now, later
when VP9 is ready. And they need DRM but for that they have
POC ready. The reason for this cahange is not some "be evil"
but rather the fact that they need to convert the videos to
multiple versions/sizes.
Using only one universsal format will save them resources. I
imagine that this change will more than halve cost of
running Youtube. And same goes for other video services too
