    Why wasn't h.265 ever implemented? 

    It seems I need to install a beta version of chrome.

    I am curious if the videos on youtube remain in the format they were uploaded or are they all converted to something else

    @Sharif They are converted into different formats. You can test this by viewing the stats for the video without changing anything first and then installing an extension to force the format used to be h.264 via h264ify.
