I wouldn't call them 'better' alternatives. They're easier to install for sure. Personally, I've used revanced, newpipe, and libretube and love them all. I stuck with newpipe, since that's what my family uses now, and it's easier to troubleshoot when I have it too. And revanced takes some steps, more than just "install this package, done".
It depends. Personally I patch it and then share the patched apk with friends and family, so for them it's literally just "install this package, done" without compromising security.
I thought about doing this, but didn't want to essentially be their maintainer. I do that enough at work lol
Tbh I share an apk twice a year on a shared Whatsapp group and that's all the "maintaining" I do, so I don't care that much. I've had worse
That's fair. It's more of when google breaks YouTube for the custom apps, that people start to get all pissy lol
not gonna lie, a little envious that your family knows how to install from apk, that would be my first bottleneck. They would hit the first scare screen and raise the white flag
