The problem is that LibreTube, NewPipe and others do not login or sync with your account. I really miss being able to save a video to my watch later playlist on my desktop, and later on watch it on my phone and it'll be marked as watched everywhere
With LibreTube that's only partially true. It doesn't sync with YouTube, but LibreTube on Android will sync with your favorite Piped instance on desktop, so if you also browse YouTube on desktop using Piped, you'll get that experience of a synced subscriptions list. You can use Google Takeout to easily migrate from the main YouTube to Piped with all your subscriptions active.
With NewPipe you're correct - there's no sync. You can import from Google, but there's no mechanism to sync with a desktop version.
Agreed. I need the youtube recommendations
If you need account specific recommendations and subscriptions, you should give Youtube Revanced a go.
