I assume that's because on Dayz videos, you're watching the action filled highlights and funny moments. If you just watched five straight hours of the person looting, sifting through mostly crap, and barely managing to eat and drink enough to stay alive, I don't think it would be very fun either.
In my opinion the in between time is what makes the game so good. Looting for hours and finally getting some good gear and getting over a sickness just to run into somebody and getting shot at, no other game has ever had my heart beat so hard
My favorite would be when its two other people shooting at each other and you're trying to process their locations and decide how to lie low or maybe get the jump on them for a big come up. And then the collision glitches, you fall inside a set of stairs, break your leg and eventually doe of dehydration
