For consumer-level bodies (7D, XXd and below) video is a requirement of this market segment, but the quality is not high enough to pull in serious video enthusiasts, so body price is not affected.
Good enough for the Avengers and Black Swan though @Orangutan
I found the 5D2 impossible to shoot on without all the bells and whistles, and the bells and whistles defeated the point of the small form, also depth of field was so unforgiving, and the rolling shutter is much worse on the 5D2 than anything thats came since, including the 7D, 550D 600D.
The 7D also has live HDMI output at 1080, which for a long time made it the best option for folk wanting hidef live monitoring. In fact when I bought my 7D it was the only DSLR with a dedicated PAL /25p mode.
And I'm not a serious enthusiast. I actually get paid. No DSLR is going to replace a conventional ENG camera for many types of job, but for some they offer awesome bang per buck.
And whichever method of pixel binning (the 3x3 would worry me, as this then takes no account of the bayer pattern, which would actually cause more false colouration) if the AA filter isn't right (and it isn't on a camera optimised for 18, 21 or 22MP) then you still need to do a little work in post, which along with selective use of MarvelsDSLR plug in (free) irons out most moire problems.
