I really don't think it's greed. Can't blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking. I'm sure it's not the end of the world, and new ways to circumvent this will show up.

I've been using a variety of LibreTube and revanced on my phone and tablet as I only have mobile devices.

For the first time I opened a link which went to the native app, OMG it is unusable with ads.

If that's the expected way of using YouTube then I'm out, especially as I live in a location where I can't pay for Premium even if I wanted to
