Not really, with the canvas there is no preset pixels, they change at random every update. With a video you have a predefined pixel layout for each frame. It's just a matter of downloading those frames locally and playing them.

Yeah it does. With a video you can be doing a cold load from a server far away, where place has multiple layers of caching in front of the full board. Pixel placements are published through websockets and replayed locally, which is still insane scale considering the amount of connections maintained and packets sent, but still not even close to the amount of data sent as a video.
