The description is not big enough to hold practically any data. You would need to link to it from there.... at which point the two are no longer linked into existence. Links go down insanely often.

I'm not saying embed the file I the description. Add a URL that points to the asset like we've been doing forever... This solves nothing.
>add a URL that points
This works really well until it doesn't. I have seen so, so, so many videos have linked content in the description that links to sites which don't work anymore.
> links to sites
Wait so your expectation is that instead of Youtubers using URLs to link to websites, you would prefer and expect that they download and embed those websites into their videos for you? Like, a zip file of the whole site? For.... convenience?
Have you considered using archive.org or mirrors instead?
There are an infinite number of better solutions for this...
