It's completely sensible for YT to assume an ARM device without acceleration needs lower quality video.

The heuristics used were not sufficient to properly determine the capabilities of the hardware it was running on. Makers can fix this problem by giving users choices.

People like you need to learn that saying things you disagree with does not mean we're stupid or didn't read something. Maybe try understanding someone instead of being a dick. I doubt you have much to contribute to a tech conversation anyway.
