Usually when an unpleasant, inconvenient, non-optional 'feature' like this comes out, it's at least obvious how that'd generate the culprit company more profits. But with this one, Im genuinely befuddled as to how it benefits YouTube shareholders. Anyone have a guess?

I think it is marketing for Google AI and - as most things AI these days - a space reservation to prevent any competitor to come with a browser plugin that would add this feature without using Google. AI has to pee on everything to mark its masters territory.
