Twitch could have massively ate into YouTube if they wanted, but they must have decided it wasn't worth the cost to host videos.

Twitch would need a lot of work to make videos more first class citizens, that is probably more the reason than storage costs. They have Amazon backing them now with basically unlimited storage potential.
