Because the browser sucks more

A dedicated app is prettier, more functional, and (feels) faster than Firefox + Ublock or Newpipe, actually plays in the background (seamlessly, I might add... looking at you, Newpipe), and allows for more player options.

that's maybe your opinion. I have absolute no problems with the look and feel of youtube in safari and I have all the functionality I need (play videos with screen off and on).

It is nearly identical to the app.
