That would turn into spaghetti code and unmaintainable tech debt really fast. Now every time you make a change you have to make sure it doesn’t break previous stylesheets, or you need to run different versions of the same codebase for each stylesheet that will need updating for security vulnerabilities and stakeholder whims.
Then it becomes harder to change when you want to add in new features still. There needs to be a fine balance between giving options and having a clean single-option code, and offering 2 different video players is not it (it sounds like some shortcuts got broken so it’s not just a CSS that got applied)
Imagine if they actually brought back “options” and let you choose between changes rather than force them on you.

Not really. At least if you plan to have it customizable in the first place.

You are right. I forgot we were talking about a web front end, and I was think of an application. I take it back.
I am just so used to watching you tube with applications on desktop and mobile I forgot we were talking about you tubes new web front end.
