I don't understand one thing...why do you need to host it on a server? It can be just a standalone app on windows/Linux/mac. I recently just started using yt-dlp and have thought of making a simple app. Should I though? Are there any alternatives in existence of this kind?

"Self-hosted" ... on something that very much used to be a fairly simple desktop app... JDownloader anyone? Or yt-dlp ????
Consider also Tube Archivist. If you just want to download a few videos it's overkill, but I use it to archive and index technical channels I like. It can do advanced full text and metadata searches on the transcription/subtitles as well as comments (and title and description). Much better than what alphabet provides, annoyingly. https://www.tubearchivist.com/

For a large group of people, the vast majority of their computing and consumption is done apart from a desktop or laptop. Something like this makes perfect sense in a mobile-first world.
Those people don't have servers, docker, and hosting. Besides that, Invidious has a download button for audio and video. As far as apps there's very simple mobile apps: Tubular and newpipe both support downloading, and ytdlnis and seal are explicitly for downloading. I'm sure there's a dozen more in F-Droid.
In my experience they do. Do you never use a mobile for browsing/videos/etc?

I totally agree. The idea of running a server application in Docker and then firing up a browser for something like this just seems so... round-about and alien to me! Is this the direction software development is really going?
It's not the most elegant, but for cross platform, a web app and container are the easiest UI and deployment methods.
- easy to deploy (developers problem) - easy to use (everybody else’s problem)
There’s like ~1 dev and >x.000’s of users, so…

you host it on the server which has a raid array and is/gets backedup vs a laptop that could get stolen or lost. the point is to have a copy of the videos that can't be deleted/lost so having that on a loseable laptop wouldn't satisfy that requirement

My generation dropped the ball on teaching computer literacy
Curious if this is at millennials for not teaching the next generation(s) or at genz/alpha for not teaching themselves.
I think looking at the prevalance of something like DoorDash delivering fast food to people shows you how strange culture has gotten.
