Because NewPipe as it is right now is restricted in it's reach & somehow GrayJay functions eventhough Newpipe gets blocked by Youtube.
Also NewPipe already exists
NewPipe works perfectly most of the time (including right now). When you say "restricted", you don't mean the age restriction, do you? Because I think those videos indeed don't work in NewPipe. (YouTube sometimes blocks GrayJay, though, don't they? Also, do age restricted videos work in GrayJay?)
Also, why limit yourself to stuff that already exists?
Whatever the case, if you're looking for a FOSS alternative to GrayJay, NewPipe is exactly the thing that most serves as an answer to your question.
Restricted as in I cannot add more plugins for other platforms & comment.
Maybe try not burying the lede next time.
Whatever the case, NewPipe is still a "serious attempt ... on creating a truly FOSS alternative to GrayJay app" (except I'm pretty sure NewPipe predated GrayJay), and it's by far the closest thing to what you're asking for. They seem broadly open to the idea of adding a plugin system to NewPipe.
I actually didn't know about this (Plugin system), thank you.
