Not sure either but one of the important chances is that Dash (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is being replaced with a newer system on YouTube.
There are some good innovations in the replacement but its much harder to implement.

Server Adaptive Bitrate Streaming, see github.com/LuanRT/…/ServerAbrStream.ts. It’s a format Google developed to be used by YouTube internally, there’s no other service that uses it and thus it’s also not supported by any player libraries.
