You are right.
Though in that particular instance, it's partly just laziness, and it's partly a feeling some producers have that archive footage shouldn't look too clean otherwise it looks too modern. Sometimes people choose a lower quality option because they don't think the past should look so immediate. Honestly, I know someone who worked in one of the archives at the BBC, and they had the ability to make old recordings sound almost like new, and some producers would say "no, I want the version with all the scratches in so people know it's old"!
It's a recognised trend in marketing that YouTube/PhoneCam/Instagram style looks "authentic".

David.
