Why was this step taken?

It is believed that the decision to release the new update of YouTube has been taken keeping in mind better functioning and performance. However, this step has been taken at a time when Apple is going to launch a new OS next week. In such a situation, it can be assumed that the new app will support the latest OS and users will get new and advanced features along with security.

It is difficult to update an app working on an advanced platform on a device working on an old OS. The latest updates and features are not able to sync with the old device.
