Well, I got annoyed about that, and found a browser addon that changes the url from shorts to videos.
We're going in the wrong direction

TikTok has video controls. Tap to pause/play. And there’s a progress bar you can drag to seek. Instagram and YouTube shorts are much more difficult to control

why is tiktok the only good short video platform

You can guess why I don’t use Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube shorts and even that Reddit video player thingy.
For Youtube you can “get back the controls” by replacing youtube.com/shorts with youtu.be (at least for nooooooow).

longpress the bottom of the screen, it brings up the seekbar.
Also … there’s a moded APK out there that removes ads, blocks some metadata capture and enables the seek bar on every video (and allows downloads)
