Yep. It’s becoming more and more common for folks to know that they can do it, but it certainly isn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t that long ago when I caught my partner listening to music on YouTube with all the ads and I blew their mind away by installing NewPipe. They just had no idea.
This is kind of a sticky situation for me. While I’m pretty tech savvy, my partner is not. I’d love to have them use NewPipe. But as a NewPipe user myself, it has been very buggy lately due to YouTube changing things. I understand why it’s buggy but they would not and I think it would be more annoying than helpful.
I’ve had no problems with ReVanced. It’s a little complicated to set up so I wouldn’t blame a non-techy for not doing it, but if you can set it up for them, it works great. And it has the huge bonus of being able to connect to your YouTube account to let you do things like comment and add to playlists, to work well when switching between desktop and mobile.

Firefox+U-block Origin works pretty well on mobile
