I generally agree with you. I would appreciate it if the youtubers that do these would just add the list to the text box they write in anyway. That would help a great deal, since all of it would be right there.

Visuals can be useful. I had to look at one just this morning tearing down an old HP Elitebook 8470p. Here I was removing all kinds of screws, when it's just a battery release sliders move, then the entire panel just slides off. doh.

But, most of the time, I just need the list. I don't need a video of someone stepping through some arcane, obscure and rarely needed AD repair. Just gimme the steps and I'll take it from there. :)
