You probably can, but the people who are tasked with delivering training videos likely do not have the technical ability to do so.
Sound like they do not have the skills or tools needed to do their job.

There is no better way to provide video content with a text document than to link to youtube. Sure they should have a private backup but until youtube stops working well like it has for a decade, it's still more reliable than any self hosted setup a company would build.
There absolutely is, place it on company google drive! You will even have real access control!
The Google drive could be deprecated at any moment

Yea better is to tell them to go login and provide no links.
I can't think of an exception yet.
A welcome move for individuals who may have embarrassing content as Unlisted links. Future politicians will thank you. But... this will hit B2B product training and product marketing libraries hard . Many companies I've seen have help pages with embedded or linked videos for features not updated in years, and many of those embeds are Unlisted videos so that they're only seen in the context of their help article, not…
So your complaint is that a company might have put a forklift training video on youtube, as an unlisted video, have then forgotten the password to change it, then will hire someone and tell them to watch it, that person won't be able to and will then not tell anyone else that fact, and after all that they might then hurt themselves with a forklift? At what point is a hypothetical harmful scenario too absurd to care a…

That may have been true, but these days can't you just put the video on S3 or any storage and play it using the tag?
