Ha, for me YouTube Music is a small but negative value contribution. I'd rather choose to never see any YouTube Music-related UI or marketing even if I am technically paying for it as part of YouTube Premium.

Another component of "negative value" is that videos keep playing in the background on mobile.

Killing the app is the easiest way to get it to shut up.

You can change that in the settings. In addition to disabling it, you can have it enabled only if headphones are connected.
FWIW you can turn background play off.
