Invidious mainly, and that doesn’t use any YT accounts, it’s the equivalent of watching YT logged out.
Also, Grayjay lets you log in through it but that probably doesn’t bypass the age check if you’re KYC’d.

Presumably once YouTube finishes rolling out age verification, all these age restricted videos will require logging in to view them.

Age-gated vids have been login-walled for a while now, non-age-gated stuff is still viewable logged out, for now.

they could but it would harm a lot of organic growth since they rely on content being easily shared.

Not unless they’re complete boneheads (which, admittedly, is not impossible). If they do that, they effectively lose embed-video-in-external-sites functionality, and that might just be enough for casual video posters to dump the platform en masse and cause their effective monopoly to crumble.
