I think that would be fine - but if that would be true, they could easily check for proof of Premium subscription to provide features that are paid.

But they're not - they're like one of those re-released Android Play Store apps which are hacked to provide paid features for free.

I'm really not sure what you mean by this comment. Are you talking about NewPipe?

NewPipe is not a re-release of any Android Play Store app, or like any hacked app (like YouTube Vanced). It provides features beyond even YouTube Premium's featureset, removes perceived anti-features like Google Play Services integration, and is much more lightweight to boot.
