"Python is absolutely (one of) the right tools for this job."
This opinion assumes it is a single job. I see multiple jobs. The number "options" provided by yt-dl(p) gives us a clue.
There is nothing wrong with preferring to use larger, more complicated, "multi-purpose" utilities. There will always be plenty to choose from.
However the idea of using smaller, less complicated, single purpose utilities is not "nonsense". It makes sense in many cases and some users may prefer it.
The statements I make about speed are from day-to-day experience not conjecture.
