Doujins are made by fans and can be made pretty cheaply (meaning, they don't cost thousands of dollars to make). Hentai videos cost a lot more and take a lot more work to create. So, a small group of people can easily draw a doujin and sell it to their friends, but it is much harder and more unlikely that the same small group will be able to create their own hentai video.
Also, I don't know for certain, but I believe that hentai videos earn most of their money by being sold in large quantities in many markets. When a video is made, it's shipped all over the place, and it may sell hundreds of thousands of copies. When a doujin is made, it's typically small and is not sent to every city in Japan. One doujin selling hundreds of thousands of copies is very rare, I believe.
Furthermore, doujins can easily be ignored by the studios that hold the rights to the anime series. Hentai videos, however, cannot be ignored as easily, because more copies are sold, and so on.
In short, I can draw a comic that has Ichigo and Rukia fucking and post it on the web or even sell copies of it to people through my website, and it won't cost me too much or require a lot of work. I cannot, however, make an animated video of Ichigo and Rukia fucking by myself. Even if I was somehow able to make such a video, I couldn't have it carried in a Hustler's store, for copyright reasons.
this.
