I wouldn't say pointless, as again it robs analytical data and views.
The reason googlevideo is credited in umatrix is because it takes the raw source of that video, which is google still. However, this is the raw mp4, not the website with the analytical overhead. It is harder for google to see who accesses this, not impossible but harder.
Idealistically people would use hooktube to download a preencoded webm and post that instead, but it's an push in the right direction.
