Nonetheless, the underlying point holds. If youtube didn't want people downloading it's videos, it's trivial from them to close that up.

It isn't trivial for them to break platforms that won't get new YouTube apps.

YouTube have only been permitting YouTube apps on platforms that support Widevine DLM for a long time now.

I suspect they are just waiting for the percentage of older clients in use to fall a little bit further, but the plan is pretty clear.

I keep refusing to enable DRM on Firefox. Hopefully there are enough people like me to matter.

youtube-dl doesn't "hack" into Youtube. The process isn't anything that you can't do manually using chrome dev tools.

Congratulations on being the millionth person to say that, not one has given instructions on how to do it.

How would you go about putting a DASH stream together in dev tools?

Side note I didn't say hack, nor did the parent. Who are you quoting?
