But to a user, what would the benefit be? Would the UI also change depending on content played to expose the controls specialized for each type of media?
It combined two apps I already use. The UI of YTM is better than the podcast app anyways. Not a crazy huge benefit, but there's no detractor for me because I already use YTM heavily.
You could listen to an epsiode on YouTube then pause and listen to it on YouTube music.
They already kinda do that on YouTube (with YouTube premium). When you watch a music video, you have music controls in the normal YouTube app and a button to switch to YouTube music
Tbh, they should rather make a new app called "YouTube Podcasts)
