Same boat here. But they couldn’t care less, the masses is what they’re after.

Google. It’s not a problem with the default video element. The engineer that into the app and mobile then that’s the primary pitch for premium

Just like BMW tying the heated seats to a monthly subscription.

Screen off only works for premium subscriptions. I hate it, but someone has made a good point to me once that advertisers are probably not okay paying the same amount and not having video show for their ads. So Google would either have to build support for a separate category of audio-only ads, and those ads would pay out less. Instead, they just only offer the feature to ad-free subscribers.
