However, even if you are concerned about this, Freetube is a more convenient option which can use its own local API similar to how Newpipe does it while still keeping a nice interface with subscription management and such.

That's exactly what I said.

You only mentioned newpipe and mpv...

There are numerous media players like mpvthat can stream youtube.

...yes, but freetube is actually comparable to the featureset of newpipe, piped, or invidious.

You're approaching this as a confrontation when it isn't one. You listed two players which are not necessarily replacements for a desktop user who wants subscription management and such, so I provided one which does.
