#5Can someone explain what's the benefit of doing it that way? I'm on Windows (Ubuntu also, in a VM) running Chrome. Sure, I could install Safari or iTunes, but why do I have to? (And don't say "So you can watch the videos.")

#6So to view these videos, I need to be running Safari for the streaming version, or have iTunes installed to download the videos? Can someone explain what's the benefit of doing it that way?

Chances are, most developers they are targeting are on Macs, so they made it easy for them.

Oh I figured as much, and it does make sense. But I'm unclear as to what types of streaming video Safari supports that Chrome doesn't.

It's not specifically Safari; it's the Quicktime codec library which is bundled with Safari (and iTunes). You can just download Quicktime standalone and anything NPAPI-supporting will gain the ability to play the videos.
It's fine, I'm barking up the wrong tree here TBH. Apple makes it clear that they want you to use their products to view this developer stuff. It's the same type of lock-in that others try to do, so they're not the only guilty party. Just unfortunate when companies do that.
I'll go and install iTunes.
