I have a feeling it would be because a presentation given like the chairman's award is done now can be used to recruit local businesses. During a business presentation, it is more professional and easier to retain audience interest with someone up giving a talk than to put them in a dark room with a video playing.
I really like that the National Chairman's Award team gets to make a video documenting their team and such - I think that is a GREAT idea. That adds to the FIRST Hall of Fame.
