Does it even have content you can only see with Premium like Red did?

YouTube Red content can only be seen with Premium, but not only does Premium not have new exclusive content, Premium features don’t work with member videos if you’re paying for channel membership

Does it even pay the people you watch?

I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I’m not worried about it.
YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won’t though because they want control and data as well.

Sure, that’s fair critique. Them not implementing the features people turn to third party apps for. Absolutely.
What I can’t make sense of are the people who want control, privacy, content, and not to pay a dime. YouTube could do this better, sure, but let that be the criticism not the mere fact they have the audacity to kick off people who provide nothing and take everything.

To be clear I wouldn’t give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.
