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.
