You're comparing apples and oranges. Apple doesn't provide anything like YouTube. If they did, they would have similar issues - there are all sorts of legal and business constraints associated with that kind of service.
A more appropriate comparison would be comparing the iTunes movie and TV store with Google's equivalent (Google Play Movies & TV):
* Both have movie purchases in over 100 countries. Apple has TV purchases in 6 countries [1]. Google has them in 8 [2]
* Both allow offline download of purchased videos. Google also allows downloading purchases to SD cards (less relevant for Apple).
* Google has a web-based player for purchased videos. Apple doesn't, AFAIK.
* Apple has carrier billing in 6 countries [3]. Google has it in 45 [4]. Google also allows you to use PayPal in a number of countries.
