Do you get much value out of a youtube video the second time around? If I need to figure out which screws to remove or something like that, it's probably the first and last time I'll need that particular information.
If you're not also ensuring that others can access that copy then I don't really see the point.
Of the top of my head I can think of 5-10 youtube videos that have had such a profound effect on me, or I enjoyed so much, that I want them forever. This isn't counting for example videos like "how to remove a 2012 mazda 3 wheel bearing" that I have watched 4x over the last 10 years.
Like anyone else though... I won't put that into effect until it's too late, because I'm used to youtube "being there." Additionally, that's not my content to download. Even if I feel it's legally and ethically not google's....it certainly isn't legally mine.
The idea of asking individual youtubers for licenses to download their work, which by proxy is essentially Google's property, is too much for a well-meaning concious person to deal with. SO it's either youtube or uhhhhh another platform.
Just curious, could you share any memorable video(s) that you saved locally to rewatch?
I occasionally save audio, like a song or album, so I can listen without the browser, but rarely video. Last time I did that, it was a Czech animation series from the 1960's called Krtek (The Little Mole). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpaZrUayzSZmHWvtFR7n3...
I collect a lot of random demo videos from a lot of fields - every time I fancy honing one skill in particular, there's usually 5-10 videos in my collection that will give me something to work on.

happy to share them if you can buy me a competent enough lawyer to run interference with the litigious copyright overlords.

Many universities have lecture series posted on youtube that I watch repeatedly. I'm definitely going to be backing them up.

I rewatch home/car fix videos whenever I need to eventually do some task again.
