Using a third-party YouTube client is against the YouTube Terms of Service, and YouTube does not offer official APIs for watching video content. Thus, Apple helps Google by proactively blocking apps that are a "YouTube Alternative Player" or "Free YouTube [/Music]" since it's a violation of 5.2.2 of the App Store Review Guidelines:
> 5.2.2 Third-Party Sites/Services: If your app uses, accesses, monetizes access to, or displays content from a third-party service, ensure that you are specifically permitted to do so under the service’s terms of use. Authorization must be provided upon request.
