#12a) highlighting that this extracts the audio track only (not everyone is 100% firm with their audio and video formats)
b) investigating whether one could, instead of downloading the highest video quality and then discarding it, download only the highest quality audio? (yt-dlp and cousins allow that.)

I think it's pretty clear from the title that this is audio-only.

#18This is what I prefer: Downloading original OPUS audio, demuxing to .opus, without reconversions using a bash oneliner. Highest Quality you can get from YouTube.
Appreciate the minimalistic UI, no frills. 170 MB for a YouTube MP3 Downloader seems a bit steep though.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah except do yourself a favor and don't use mp3
Why, objectively?
2) Any lossy re-encoding step degrades quality. You'll get the highest quality by saving the stream direct from the server and skipping the re-encode step. Just pass --extract-audio and skip all those other arguments.
