Is it though? My guess would be that a web app - one that doesn’t require visiting a github project page or downloading anything - would be more user friendly and more appealing for most users. As of now that seems to be the top result.

My point was the target audience. I.e. that an average user that enters “youtube downloader” into a search engine would not see a CLI python tool as functional for them.
