Youtube is indeed low-ish bitrate but 1080p looks noticeably better for gaming footage which usually includes some sort of text alongside UI elements. DASH support would also enable 60fps videos, which again are awesome for games. I personally watch a lot of that stuff on Youtube.
I understand it's not easy to do, and may even be impossible inside Kodi. But it would definitely be a huge plus for me and not a throwaway.
A menu option "Download via youtube-dl" which then calls the external program properly in the background to save the video to disk as 1080p/4k and/or 60fps would be pretty sweet. This would be particularly nice when Youtube is running slowly and constantly buffering due to my ISP being garbage.
