Keeping the videos up to date is considerably more work than
maintaining static SVGs. And as time goes on, getting started isn't as
important as it used to be.

Also, my view is that static images can do a really good job. They
might not be as shiny, but they can help to explain just as well as
video (in most situations, anyway). Sometimes they're actually better
than video, because you can read them at your own pace.

Works for me...
