I've always been mystified by how bad the picture-in-picture UI is.

How and why?

every time I've ended up failing to achieve that

So you are mystified by the fact that you failed to achieve something that owners of the web site don't want you to achieve? Why is that even strange?

reaching for mpv/yt-dlp/streamlink

And that works because owners of these web sites don't bother to close these loopholes.

Users of mpv/yt-dlp/streamlink are very much a minority and can be ignored. But something that would actually be convenient by Joe Average? That can not be ignored and they have to do something about that. And they do.

It's as simple as that.

The owners of larger websites absolutely do not ignore this software and are constantly going out of their way to break it through technical means and pseudo-legal process abuse. It continues to work in most part because its authors are smarter and more determined.
