Functionality is also the interface, it demonstrates the functionality, a podcast app is an rss feed reader tuned towards playing longform audio. I sincerely doubt youtube music integrated with rss feeds would be any good for podcasting, I've tried it and it always tries to play the video (which, its youtube music, why would it play video?). Not to mention that podcasts already have ads in them, so now its going to have youtube ads and also ads in the podcast. Not to mention the ad numbers have tripled, there's 2 minutes of ads every 5 minutes. Also we already have an example of podcasting functionality being integrated into a music app: spotify. And IMO it is a complete failure, the interface is constantly fighting between podcasts and music. Two methods of consuming media that are different, making the entire experience subpar.
