I think there's technical reasons for that. It looks like (and I may be wrong) they grab the YouTube website and show you a modified version of that, instead of requesting just the video from the server. This may be useful because YouTube changes how its API works sometimes to throw off 3rd party clients.
nope they're completely creating a new page, not a modification of the youtube website.
PipePipe still works without being an electron app but redundancy is good
