Is their "brilliant relational data storage system" the reason that YouTube can never show me the same list of my own videos I've uploaded to my account? One device shows one list, another shows another list (with some overlap), and going into different views of channel editing cause the lists to turn into yet another list. Maddening, and it's been doing it for years.

No, the Youtube infrastructure is rather impressive. It's the frontend UI/UX product that's crap.
The simple fact that you can't search in search results or even search through lists... I'm not asking for a million options, I just want to be able to find a video I remember the title of without having to go through a bunch of garbage.
I’m not a Googler, but sounds more like poorly done client side cacheing to me.
