Licensing.  You need to pay royalty fees for H.264 clips over a certain length (various conditions apply).  The Youtube length restriction is about the maximum they can get away with without paying royalty fees.  Then again, it's Google, and they could easily fund it, but on the other hand, since when were companies designed to satisfy users' needs?

Alternatively, use Theora.  Even though not as efficient as H.264, Youtube's non-HD clips are so badly encoded that Theora can probably be about as effective.
