Valid question. I think it's just a usability thing. Easier to hit an icon on my phone to open an app rather than launch the browser, find bookmark, etc. It may seem trivial, but it makes a difference when you're in a hurry.
I feel the same, even though I don't use the YouTube app and instead always use the mobile site in a browser (with extensions, obviously).
Would it help having a shortcut to the mobile site directly on your phones app screen? Chrome and Firefox both allow that.
Don't know how you do it in Android, but in iOS you can tap share and then add to home screen to, well, add a website to your home screen.
Android also supports this.
In Chrome, Firefox and close relatives thereof, it's Menu -> Add to Home Screen.
Yeah, I just need to do that. Thanks for the reminder.
