why use proprietary when Peertube is free and libre
Because content is on youtube, and PeerTube does not have bridging capabilities. That's the reason.
What is bridging?
It's when you connect two unrelated platforms. If PeerTube had a YouTube bridge it would be able to play YouTube content directly on all of its instances without people having to re-upload anything.
