Hah. Takeout is neat, but it doesn’t seem to include any of the ad tracking data google have on me. Emails, videos, files: yes. URLs I’ve been tracked to that influence which ads I’m served: nope.

I recently found it easier to find an old music video I’d made by using takeout to download my YouTube archive, rather than figuring out which sub identity of which linked account I had used to upload the private video.

Presumably that's because that's not your data.

I mean nothing good or bad about that. But why would you expect to be able to download data that's not yours?
