Matt,
Google wants it for the tecnology. It's the same technology as Napster had and look how that evolved into the whole legit dl music model.
The quality will not decrease. That will be suicide as well. Just as ads before vids.
My two guesses
1. Google uses as a platform for premium downloaded content. While you are surfing the free vids, why not grab a copy of your fav tv show "for the road".
2. Google creates a myspace/youtube clone. Combine the two. The youtube traffic is there.
Remeber what google pays for bandwith and what youtube does are two different things.
I still think you wont see this deal happen.
