I tried to trick google by creating an account using VPN in Europe. I even managed to subscribe for Premium. Even with an active Premium subscription Youtube app won't let me use its features such as downloading, background play and picture in picture (you know, basically everything)
Because "you live in the wrong part of the world". Creating a problem, selling the solution is what they do.
Like, I don't even care about downloading, but Google intentionally cripples their mobile website experience by suppressing pip and background play. It would cost zero dollars not to do this but they did.
Not sure what part of not using your suggested command line tools but wanting to just use the official version like everyone else warrants calling someone openly stupid
