I don't care if Apple was too "brave" not to pay 1$ for codec support ...
But anyway, they finally "fixed" it in iOS 14 ... it took them just what ... iOS 9 to iOS 14 to support basic stuff?
Pathetic.

YouTube experience always been limited for Apple users, Google does that because Apple is their biggest competitor. Apple want to use HEVC which is better and more efficient and takes lot less space. For example Apple TV+ 4K videos/movies are best quality 4K content out there.

The real issue here is that it's no issue to anything BUT Apple products.

I hope there is a breakthrough in AV1 Technology.
It's superior to H265 but it's a catastrophically long encoding times.
Also there is no Software Decoder yet and so the Hardware decoder too.
Maybe we can expect it in 5 years time.

You people do realise that Youtube belongs to Google and the codec used for 4K on youtube is proprietary format (aka only used by Google) right? Of course Android devices have support for this. Android=Google=Youtube
HEVC is the standard but google doesn't want to pay the license. It was a way to force people to download Chrome (which was initially the only browser to support VP9. Still the only way to watch 4K and beyond on Macs).
What's funny is that HEVC is superior and even pixel phones record in HEVC only. It's all about licensing (for Google) and litigation/agreements (for Apple).
Long story short Google is being fragmented here and Apple well is being Apple. The consumers are the ones missing out and both companies are to blame.
But in all fairness, there are no iOS or iPadOS devices that have 4k resolution so it's a non issue. You can watch 4K on Macs and let's be honest people who have a 4K apple tv use it on 4K tvs which all have the youtube app installed and can playback 4K from there.
