What really needs explaining is why we still stick to 25fps. I'd like to watch films on TV at their intended frame-rate.

It didn't, Line store converters were used at the transmitters to convert teh 625 line pics to 405 before transmitting at 405 lines. The frame rate was identical in and out of the converter. I did have to mend one about 45 years ago.

We don't, look at your video file properties to find a wide range of frame rates.

films on TV - not - films on a TV.

Standard film rate was (is still?) 24 fps, so 50Hz, giving 25Hz is close enough.
