good luck suing someone in a country like Russia, China or any other where these things are super hard to enforce. At most, they can request Google to remove them from the PlayStore which they will be already doing because this is an app for YouTube without ads, which I'm pretty sure breaks Google's terms of service.
there's not a real advantage on restricting forks, other than the original dev are trying to promote a paid tier so they can make a profit or something.
