It's easy.... you never hear people talk about "avg time on the site". The fact that tube sites have tons of videos, people can easily spend 10,20,30+ minutes on the site, where as other types of sites they bounce away pretty quick. In my experience google puts a lot of weight on this, which it makes sense. If someone averages 10 seconds on your site or 10 minutes, which one would you rank as more popular / useful to people.
They also generate thousands of pages (each video is it's own page) with good meta tags and search terms.
Then there is the fact that they get a lot of traffic, another variable that in my opinion google puts a lot of weight, which is also common sense. If 1,000,000 or 1,000 people go to a site each day which one do you think is more popular / useful / legit etc.
Then there is bookmarks and people using the code to put these videos on their own sites that produce links back to the tube.
There is probably 20 good reasons that people could point to why tube sites do really well in the SE.
