But normal YouTube videos aren’t DRMed at all so you should be able to find the file in cleartext somewhere on your hdd

I don’t think you can use that feature on the web. It’s mobile app only. Maybe you can use adb to grab them off an android device but it’s not nearly as easy as youtube-dl. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were DRM’d in that scenario anyway.

In another thread someone explained that the videos were stored in their original chunked format, so it wouldn't be that easy to just extract it.
