I've had Youtube Premium since it was introduced and I still use yt-dlp because it's the most convenient way for me to make an mp3 from a video so I can listen to it offline. I don't think they care. They probably care about music industry getting worked up about it if it was more mainstream though. This is annoying because I don't even download music, just podcasts and interviews.

They care quite a bit, yt-dlp has had to undergo some drastic changes recently to make it faster for its devs to work around frequent changes to YouTube encryption.
