In my experience, this isn't the exact requirement for making it into the list. Apps which get launched from other apps don't get inserted into the list (e.g., Youtube launched from the browser). It seems to only be applications launched from the home screen/application drawer. Granted, I'm now using LauncherPro, but I remember this being the case with the HTC default as well.

Youtube is not an app, it's content being shown in the browser.

I actually have a YouTube application which, AFAICT using a task killer, is launched for YouTube videos (even from the browser). Same with other webvideo and the generic "Streaming Multimedia" application I have.
My biggest gripe is that you can't background it to allow it to buffer the whole video. Seeking is also very flaky (often just tossing away all of the cache and then quitting). This is the primary reason I refuse to use flash on my main machines: mplayer just does so much better at everything than flash when it comes to video.
