dlc is abandoned and dlp integrates its features.

So dlc is a fork of dl, but dl itself has actually a bunch of fairly recent commits which dlc does not have. And dlp nor dlc are 'forks' in the Github sense of forking. So how does one figure out whether recent dl commits are in dlp? And does this matter? Is this the downside of 'if you don't like it then just fork it and fix it'?

Other than a few commits [1], everything in youtube-dl is already in yt-dlp. You can see upto which upstream commit is merged into yt-dlp in the changelog [2]

Well not really because you up the count for the garage band you're listening to. Quick calculation shows this model gives more influence on the repartirion of money to those who listen to the most music, even though they pay the same (as compared to YouTube's that gives the same budget to everyone)

Quick calculation shows that infinitesimal multiplied by a number is still infinitesimal, while YT's model is a real number multiplied by an integer.

Not really:

Let - p := subscription price

- N := number of subscribers

- P:= total spotify money = p * N

In first approximation, let us consider that all subscribers listen to the same amount of music per month

- v := number of minutes of music per subscriber per month

- V := total number of music listened to = v * N

Then, by listening to a minute of an artist, the amount you add to that artist revenue is approximately

P / V = p / v

Which is a fraction of a non-infinitesimal number (in that first approximation)

You got confused by a fact that an infinitesimal number times an infinite number can very much be real
