Because sometimes you want to watch a video non-fullscreen with duration
longer than your screensaver's timeout? I certainly don't fullscreen all
the videos I watch.

I think it would be hard to programmatically distinguish between the non
fullscreen foreground case and all permutations of the video-as-page-
background use case you describe.
