You might have left the video playing and left the phone unattended, which would be foolish I agree, in which case anyone could grab the device and access some already open private tabs or other data unless it is protected as it is now.

A good point. But it can lead to weird situations. For example, I watch a Youtube video. The video is finished and my screen is still on. It has never occurred to me that it may have timed out.

Now I swipe from the bottom to start a new application. I expect the launcher but instead, I get the Camera app starting. I have not tried it but I suspect you would get Camera regardless of whether you have a screen lock PIN set up or not.

So now we have an inconsistency. A swipe from the bottom within a screen timeout limit brings up the launcher but wait a little bit longer and the same gesture does something completely different.
