I actually don't think it's a bad decision. I think merging it with YouTube is a good thing. They could integrate tightly with YouTube since they already added a "podcast" feature and you could seemlessly switch between Video and Audio.

Sooner or later I expected that to happen.

    But to a user, what would the benefit be? Would the UI also change depending on content played to expose the controls specialized for each type of media?

    You could listen to an epsiode on YouTube then pause and listen to it on YouTube music.

    They already kinda do that on YouTube (with YouTube premium). When you watch a music video, you have music controls in the normal YouTube app and a button to switch to YouTube music

    Tbh, they should rather make a new app called "YouTube Podcasts)
