I mean it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but could some players gain ‘legend’ status to future generations just off a few videos?

Unlikely, as context will always exist, there will have been plenty of primary sources and contemporary discourse about that player, good and bad, that will inform the discussion, just as there is today with the likes of Sindelar, Puskas, Garrincha etc.
