Videos = photos?

Why isn't there a "video" folder?

Yeah but isn't icloud photo library designes to be the cloud version of your photos app? Which contains photos and videos from your camera roll?
It really would be nice if there was a Film Roll or something cleverly named that finally separated pictures and videos out from the same pile.
