I wonder if the youtube phone app also needs a JS runtime or is it able to bypass the JS requirements somehow.
NewPipe will probably need to add a JS runtime too.

The Android app uses an API which does not require a JS runtime, but it does require a Play Integrity token. The iOS app uses an API which is assumed to require an App Attest token.
Also, neither API supports browser cookies, which is a necessity for many users.
Any Android app can run code inside a WebView without adding anything.
