That is when web site is encoded to use VLC plugin for video playing, like  
Wikipedia.
And VLC browser plugin is known for it poor state (quite few of developers  
interested in maintaining it). It is even is not installed in default  
settings.
And this make a loop, a hen/egg problem.

Users would not install VLC with plugins, if not forced by webmasters.
Developers would never put much effort into it, until stimulated by users.
Webmasters would never use it, if the plugin is unreliable and their users  
anyway do not use i. They gonna use Flash instead.

YouTube either uses native WebM (if you turn HTML 5 option in YouTube  
settings) or Adobe Flash to play video.
