This is a bluff. People will still watch YouTube in the browser because the device will still have a browser.
If the device takes off, Google will want better analytics on the user, and they’ll want to ensure people keep using YouTube, rather than a competitor so they will relent and make the app
Google will also want better data on the user which is really half the point of making the app.

There isn’t a competitor, as it’s just not a viable business model. Everyone in the industry says that YouTube never made any profit to this day, and the fact that they stopped sharing revenue numbers with investors awhile back underscores that point. Who wouldn’t want to brag if they were swimming in profits, right?
YouTube in Safari is superior in at least one way: you can block ads. Hopefully Vision Pro will support Safari extensions and adblockers like Vinegar, StopTheMadness and AdGuard.
Out of the 46 most popular apps on the App Store, none of them will have a native visionOS app at launch, according to findings from MacStories. This list could always change — and some of the apps will still offer Vision Pro support through their existing apps on iPhone and iPad — but the lack of native apps just weeks away from the Vision Pro launch isn’t particularly encouraging.
Which was the 47th most popular app that did have a vision pro app?
