Well of course, YouTube is someone sitting in front of the camera with no background noise and speaking calmly.
In a movie the characters may be far away (so it needs to sound like that, not like a podcast), running, exhausted, with a plethora of background noises and so on.
I can suspend my disbelief for the sake of clearly hearing a character who has something important to say.
In the real life, I can underastand exhausted people or dialog in a kitchen full of background noise.
If we cant do the same in the movie, sound is just badly mixed. It is not the story setup and it is not "realistic".

Because in real life you don't listen through an internal TV speaker, duh.
That would be true, except even in calm scenes in movies it's an issue. Unless I turn the volume high enough, in which case music and sfx become neighbor-waking loud. To be clear: I'm not talking about scenes where characters speak over an explosion. The overall mix does not allow having the same volume for all scenes of the movie, pick your poison: wake the neighbors or don't understand dialogues.
Somehow youtube videos don't have this issue. Go figure /s
