I haven't seen comments regarding a big factor here:
It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI.
The webapp is heavily geared towards consumption, with a feed as the entry point, liking and commenting for posts, and user profiles having a prominent role.
The creation aspect seems about as important as on Instagram, TikTok etc - easily available, but not the primary focus.
Generated videos are very short, with minimal controls. The only selectable option is picking between landscape and portrait mode.
There is no mention or attempt to move towards long form videos, storylines, advanced editing/controls/etc, like others in this space (eg Google Flow).
Seems like they want to turn this into AITok.
Edit: regarding accurate physics ... check out these two videos below...
To be fair, Veo fails miserably with those prompts also.

Couldn't help but mock them a little, here is a bit of fun... the prompt adherence is pretty good, at least.
NOTE: there are plenty of quite impressive videos being posted, and a lot of horrible ones also.
