    The apps you mentioned are scraping or pretending to be the official app.

    The official API doesn’t have public methods to build an alternative third party player .

    The only way YouTube can stop those apps (beside blackmailing devs with legal letters) is to shut down both their own website and their own app

      They can ban google accounts of people who use those apps though. I can see them doing it.
