To be fair, other platforms have video and audio capturing utilities as well.
The last time I checked (Windows, 3 years ago at work), nothing apparent was
free and it had be a third-party application. Compare that with import,
mencoder and wget, which are great tools that are often pre-installed. There
are GUI's available as well.
