Comparison fail. What Google's been saying from 3 years while dragging it's feet is that Windows Phone does not have enough users to make an app for, but now their claim is that so…

And I would assume getting banned from the API is also a completely automated process. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started#quo...

The issue that triggers that problem is that Google refuses to either give them access to the YouTube API like it does for iOS and Android or makes a WP app itself.
