Not as an argument, but a side note: this is an effect of webdev being a ball of mud with wires sticking out of it. They couldn’t make a bad video player if <video> was good enough as is. Same for forms, layouts, etc. The huge upside of desktop frameworks around 2000 was that they just worked as designed, and if you weren’t skilled, that was a big barrier for making bad ui (not a barrier for true idiots, but still). Web though, it is basically a recipe for making something so idiotic that you couldn’t even imagine, and it invites, when not requires, you to try.

Youtube may work better than “everything else”, except for basically any mainstream porn site. It is just so trash compared to pornhub or xvideos that according to your theory these sites could just start serving sfw content and destroy youtube. Idk about that.
