Pretty much. Even if seemingly every website wasn't diving into anti-user nonsense, things online don't last forever. I think it's worthwhile to make a backup of pretty much anything you feel is worth the effort and space.
I wonder if I should put the effort into making a desktop and/or android UI that downloads every video you watch in a format you specify for archive(so you could watch in whatever res but archives in 1080 or lower for space). Fork something like free-tube and run python for yt-dlp to archive. It would just be a font end for existing back end, and would probably be less effort than manually downloading anything I feel important. Just delete anything I feel isn't when it's in the archive folder.
I remember there being a an mpv extension for firefox to watch youtube in mpv locally - you might want to look for inspiration there.
There's also freetube that might be extended in an easier way.
