YouTube streams adaptive videos, which are not going to load the video-part of the playback unless you actually have the video on.

You can notice this effect most clearly in certain apps that stream adaptive video in that when you turn the screen on and off it takes a small time before the video segment actually loads - those bytes don't make it to the device unless they are actually necessary for the experience.

No contest on the point about bitrates for the audio stream.
