Google has in past stopped Microsoft from bringing a functioning YouTube app to Windows. So, probably with Microsoft warming up to Google’s ecosystem with its apps and Surface Duo may have a soothing impact on Google.
Still, it would be interesting to see whether it is a full-functionality app or a wrapper for the YouTube website.
