I was actually suggesting it could be on Microsoft's side, sending the old "Edge" UA instead of the new "Edg" one. But it could easily be a screwup in Google's UA detection treating the new version the same as the old one.
Big question for my idea is whether Edge's "use old UA for streaming sites" is a hardcoded list of a few sites like Netflix, or if it's something that might have flagged YouTube as being a video site that should get Old Edge agent by mistake.
EDIT - MS's useragent overrides are hardcoded to specific domains, so it wouldn't be identifying as Old Edge for YouTube unless someone at Microsoft manually set it to do that. Probably Google's fault for miscategorizing the new UA.
