Hmmm, serving low resolution videos to ARM devices running Linux also makes harder for a competitor to build an alternative to Android.

True, but any competing operating system could just falsely report that it is running x86-64 and therefore trick YouTube into serving high-res content.

Disclosure: currently (as a personal project) slowly building an alternative to Android
