Google pioneered a minimal browser that left most things up to the sites inside it. Seems to have worked out for them.
If Youtube finds that a progress bar is good for their user experience, more power to them. They can make sure it works as well as possible with their site, and change and remove it if necessary. It seems that you know more about Youtube's design than Youtube's designers.
