I tend to think there has to be valid reasons for that, besides just the ability to spend 2-10x as much on gear.

Yes, for video, it's much like shooting the old Chrome films, where you can't process each frame. You can do a little processing with video, but nothing like you can do with stills.
Interestingly, most, not all, video isn't as critical in lens requirement. Still, if you want to knock them out of their seats, then a great lens really helps.
I briefly consider a 17mm f/2.8 Ziess for my 5D2, but decided that I preferred the flexibility of a Canon zoom and processing correction in DxO.
