    I just never bought into the whole "greed is good" mindset.

    No you aren't.

    Even something as simple as some home videos can be legacy content.

    Apple's approach to content is infact user hostile when it comes to 
basic simple things that an end user might have lying around. You don't
have to be a "geek" to have some video files that you might have created
or saved or gotten from someone else.

    They're just files.
