well, i said it once in another thread. in my opinion the main reason why we get this option is because it is free advertisement for sony and microsoft if we upload those videos to facebook so that all your facebook friends see it. it's like a huge marketing campaign for free and that over years. just imagine they would have to pay for that so that millions of people always see playstation or xbox videos in their timeline. 

i think for that alone microsoft should also have it without gold (at least if you can also upload your videos to facebook with xb1, not sure about it)

Gold covers the cloud cost.
This functionnality is cloud based.
They didn't think further.

And, at their place, what would you choose :

- Free advertising or
-Getting paid for advertising your own stuff ?

Free advertising.

And if you add on top of that that you need users to take the gold option ?

Free advertising.
