It's simply stupid to not compress to h265 before uploading it.

that's not what videographers do with their raw footage

Tell me you don't know shit about professional video production without telling me you don't know shit about professional video production.

For people authoring original content who may end up having the only copy of a given piece of news-relevant data in their possession, using a lossy compression method to back it up sort of defeats the purpose. This isn't stashing your old DVD collection, this is trying to back up privileged professional data.
