I just took a video as a parameter - a recent engineering animation - and got the following:

  format  18 -  640x360  AVC1, V+A :  ~50kB/s
  format  22 - 1280x720  AVC1, V+A :  ~60kB/s
  format 137 - 1920x1080 AVC1, V   : ~128kB/s
  format 400 - 2560x1440 av01, V   : ~450kB/s
  format 401 - 3840x2160 av01, V   : ~850kB/s

Are you sure you are not reporting mega/bits/? When you mention the «player reported data rate», are you sure that is not the "connection speed"? 10MB/s means downloading 36GB/h (one CD per minute, dozens gigabytes per hour)...

You're right it's somehow weird. Perhaps the player shows decompressed figures? Check for yourself - right-click on YT video player, show developer/debug info, and there's a chart.

I checked that interface (if you mean the "Stats for nerds"), hence I asked you if you were not by chance reading the "connection speed", which could be the closest to the values you reported and may be misleading to a glance.
