Why the view-floor exists
Real-device foreground-playback views consume bandwidth on the source-account device — 3-15 MB per view depending on video duration. That bandwidth has a real cost. Source-account maintenance has a real cost. Refill-provisioning has a real cost. The sum of these costs at sustained bulk volume floors at ~$0.0014 per view. Iframe-loop bots have effectively zero variable cost — server-side bandwidth at datacenter rates is ~40× cheaper than real-device bandwidth.
