This is a nice scheme, because it allows the client to instrument its own capabilities on the fly – including network conditions, hardware, localization, etc – and choose the best variant to match. It even allows client-side control over quality/bandwidth tradeoffs (higher quality usually means more bitrate which means more bandwidth), which we see in YouTube's cog menu (among other places).
