Because Category is a specific taxonomy, not just a piece of general ‘functionality’ that you can add to post types.
When you add category to taxonomies for your post type you’re registering the Category taxonomy that already exists for Posts for your post type.
If you want to have separate Categories for your post type you need to register a custom taxonomy with register_taxonomy(). Something like video_category.
