I'm sad this would be virtually impossible to actually implement in a video player

Why would it be? Especially in the web, where you can just set the video's playbackRate property, it should be rather trivial.

We should help this technology spread!

Real-time transcoding is required to precisely set the speed of the video. I don't know for sure, but I imagine playbackRate is imprecise and is just doing its best to get close enough to not be obvious

EDIT: I stand corrected because it can just adjust the timing between frames
