Because one lost frame in a MPEG is way more catastrophic than a lost page of text in a PDF file. It becomes a matter of total data involved as much as it is an issue of chances of an error.

I don't agree that video is more susceptible than data to corruption, only that it is more likely to be noticed on optical media in the end.
