Bypassing ads is already technically piracy as the concept of piracy is the idea you are stealing potential revenue.
So YT-DLP would be piracy aswell since it denies them revenue by allowing you to download the media.
Just wait till they start sueing people for each YouTube clip they download like they did with mp3s.
However, If you incorporate… feel free to pirate everything, unless youre Chinese…

No, piracy is about distributing unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Revenue has nothing to do with it.
