I don't see this as an issue as I use native apps for YT, Gmail and Google Maps anyway.

What's interesting is that YouTube app for iOS lacks some essential features that Android app has. For example, you can't go back to video you just watched. In Android it works with Back button, but there's no Back button on iPhone. You can have to go to history which breaks the nice user flow we have on Android and Desktop YouTube.

No I don't think that's anything particular to do with the fact that one is iOS and one is Android; Google's OWN YouTube apps are inconsistent.

The Android TV YouTube app, for example, has no way to subscribe to a channel. It also has no immediate 'go back to the video I was watching' either; you have to wait some amount of time until your YouTube history gets updated. This is Google's own YouTube app on their own platform.
