Mobile devices don't allow video to auto play as they require user activation (i.e. the user has to click "play" for anything to happen). As a result, the background video would not play when the page loads. Additionally, since there is no "play" button, there's no way for the user to activate the background video.

This is the reason the image is displayed instead of a non-playing, inaccessible video background for mobile devices.
