If you are Spotify or YouTube, you could already block modified devices at the app level before the embedded WebView even boots up, via the Play Integrity API.
That's a pretty serious misconception. Regardless of whatever they do with the Play Integrity API, YouTube cannot currently stop me from installing ReVanced from F-Droid on my LineageOS phone. The idea of this new API is to prevent anything not Google-approved from playing Youtube videos, in a cryptographically secure way.

I can live without the stuff I watch on YouTube. The harder they try to squeeze me, the less onerous I will find it to do the work of degoogling myself.

That’s the way. I can’t understand people ranting over how bad or evil YT/Google are (spoiler: they actually are) and still going out of their way to keep using it.

Helplessness can be taught.
