Maybe a simple solution to this is just having more process for which still frame to use for any MOTD video.

Presumably the person who set up the templates thought that was the best

It looks like a single person is handling Commons' MOTD rotation,[2][3] so I would guess that very few people actually saw what the thumb would be beforehand.
