I have enabled multiple lists that aren't default, have years worth of custom filters, run in medium mode and I have never seen a single warning on YouTube. Maybe none of the stuff I've configured is YouTube related.

Yellow bubbles for all RCS messages.
Sure, but pricing was the main driver. There doesn't seem to be readily available historical pricing data but even as late as 2018 the price of SMS in Europe seemed to be €0.07-0.11 per message. Which means it was even more expensive back in the early 2010s when WhatsApp and others were beginning to take off. For the US the price per message is and has been $0. I think the extra features were ultimately just a bonus when compared to being able to send messages for free. The fact the US still hasn't switched is proof enough that it being a better experience is not enough to compel people to change off of the default. Money is a huge motivator.
Those kinds of apps took off in other places because SMS was expensive, but in the US there has been cheap and/or unlimited SMS for a couple of decades now. So people had no reason to use anything else. That means when iMessage came along and transparently covered up SMS it became the standard.
It is especially bad for teenagers where the iPhone has almost 90% market share. If you are a teen using Android with 9 friends, chances are literally all of them are on iMessage. Good luck trying to convince all 9 of them to install another app just for you. Apple's ~~indoctrination~~ marketing is so powerful that kids are actually bullied for not having an iPhone.
There are at least 20 different options to choose from, surely one of them has what you want. And that number is only going to rise. Saying it never will is extremely short-sighted.
When was the last time you tried it? Up until recently I have had issues but I've been using it for the last few days and it feels good now. All of the problems I had with it the last few times I've tried it (drag and drop not working, copy-paste being weird, fractional scaling) have seemingly been fixed.
To be fair it is always my fault when things break not Arch's. It's not like Arch does anything on its own.
It's also ironically easier to use day-to-day than some other commonly suggested distros. Sure something like Mint or Pop_OS is much much easier to set up but later on when you need a newer version or something that isn't in the repos. Too bad! That doesn't exist. Time hunt down a PPA and hope it's trustworthy.
With Arch 99.9% of the time if it's not in the main repos it's in the AUR. And since it's rolling there's no worry of doing the big upgrades (been seeing plenty of posts about issues with the transition from Fedora 38 -> 39 lately). I have daily driven Arch for almost 10 years now and there have only been a handful of times across that whole span where a pacman -Syu actually broke something.
I was just about to comment about the 3rd video thing. It's always in that same spot. Although for me sometimes it isn't even related to the current video it's (seemingly) random.
This tracks with my experience using Unity in the past. They like to add a bunch of half-baked new features while simultaneously deprecating old ones that worked fine. Which means you have to choose between using a "worse" feature you know will no longer be supported or using a "better" feature that's not fully finished yet. When your release window is 2+ years out it is really hard to make that decision.
And they do it directly in their stable builds and label individual features as "beta" rather than keeping them in a separate beta branch which is remarkably stupid. It makes them seem like the features are ready for production when they're clearly not.
I think you guys are just discussing semantics. Revanced as a project is the patches themselves, so Revanced is open source. But a YouTube app patched with the Revanced patches is not.
