And it's not just a game of chasing YouTube. Many people aren't aware of this, but youtube-dl downloads from a rather large collection of video-hosting sites [1]
Some of those sites are stable, and have no problem with programs like youtube-dl, but some are constantly moving targets, and probably going out of their way to try and block youtube-dl. The thought of maintaining it, while facing a constant stream of "my favorite site broke, you MUST fix it now!" stresses me out, much less dealing with it.
