Google is bigger than most bandwidth/service providers. You think they don't own enough bandwidth to allow youtube to grow ten times it's size and still have left over bandwidth usage?

Good points
To the point #2
Let me mention they're definitely trying to cut down their bandwith costs, many times I get "this video is not available in your country" if I search for something specific, and also their servers work shitty in general, the connectivity is much slower than it used to be with the same connection.
