"Valid" and "disingenuous" mean very different things. How would you feel about editing that README point to be explicit that you use an ~~unofficial~~ undocumented YouTube API?

For the record, I don't think "InnerTube" would be considered unofficial, legally. It's authorized by YouTube, since they made and use it internally. That's the definition of "official." This is a small part of why I think the wording in the TOS makes the TOS apply to "InnerTube." What makes you think that it doesn't?

What makes you think that it doesn't?

The fact that it isn't "the YouTube API". The policy only applies to the API you can get "officially".
