Let us not forget that the viewers are the product. The “users” are somewhat comprised of the people buying premium and mostly comprised of the advertisers buying ads for eyeballs to see.

Google doesn’t make money from ads if you download a video outside of their player.

I pay for YouTube premium and can download a video to my phone in the app. It’s not perfect but it works.

I am glad for all the paying people who care less about their privacy to the extent they can justify that. You matter, seriously. I'm being 100% genuine. I don't think the world (economically) would continue to turn if everyone was like me unfortunately. It would be a tradgedy of the uncommons
