Had to see it again.
The option to not castle is under the theory..... tired right now. I believe is when the center is closed or more likely it will not open anytime soon. In which case the King is safe. And all attacks have to come from the side or wing.
Open center which more than likely will force both sides to castle if they have the opportunity. Moving to side that gives the most protection. Also following a plan of attack comes to up when finding which side to castle.
o-o-o is most likely followed a pawn storm. Where pieces support the pawns to attack the king on the king side. Best done if your opponent is making mindless moves and playing from the book. Players that are not titlled are more prown to this exposure.

From my Stand point at around 1400-1500 rated, The Importance to Castle goes way down, once the queens are gone. so if you save your option to castle, like you might want to, if the queens get traded, then the king becomes an offensive weapon....
from the opening moves you have position yourself where to castle but as the game goes on there might be opportunity not to castleor castle left or rightside.there must be an overall picture of whats actually happening on the board as to precautionary means offense and defense.whatever that favors the situation to keep you from harm and strong defense and attacking chances will decide which way to shelter the king for a good ending and advantage in the preponderance of moves.
It all depends on what kind of opening and pawn structure will arise.

Strategy
Castling is an important goal in the early part of a game, because it serves two valuable purposes: it moves the king into a safer position away from the center of the board, and it moves the rook to a more active position in the center of the board (it is even possible to checkmate with castling).
The choice as to which side to castle often hinges on an assessment of the trade-off between king safety and activity of the rook. Kingside castling is generally slightly safer, because the king ends up closer to the edge of the board and all the pawns on the castled side are defended by the king. In queenside castling, the king is placed closer to the center and the pawn on the a-file is undefended; the king is thus often moved to the b-file to defend the a-pawn and to move the king away from the center of the board. In addition, queenside castling requires moving the queen; therefore, it may take slightly longer to achieve than kingside castling. On the other hand, queenside castling places the rook more effectively – on the central d-file. It is often immediately active, whereas with kingside castling a tempo may be required to move the rook to a more effective square.
It is common for both players to castle kingside, and rare for both players to castle queenside. If one player castles kingside and the other queenside, it is called opposite castling. Castling on opposite sides usually results in a fierce fight as both players' pawns are free to advance to attack the opposing king's castled position without exposing the player's own castled king. An example is the Yugoslav attack, in the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defence.
If the king is forced to move before it has the opportunity to castle, the player may still wish to maneuver the king towards the edge of the board and the corresponding rook towards the center. When a player takes three or four moves to accomplish what castling would have accomplished in one move, it is sometimes called artificial castling, or castling by hand.
