Without downloading the app.. does it support signing into a paid YouTube (music) account?

edit: Not that I can see.. in fact, don't even see a YouTube option in the portable download version I just tried.

aside: Was king of hoping it would be supported... I would like a nicer UI over YouTube music for desktop use beyond a Browser App.

This might be of interest:

Custom YT Music desktop client with loads of plugins to customize the experience (including ad-blocking). I'm not the dev, just a happy user.

There are more than a few alt youtube client alternatives on f-droid.

... for desktop use ...

Not 100% sure it supports login, but it does support this, which is like 90% of the way there:

> Import Subscriptions

> Import your subscriptions from YouTube to see your feed instantly

Freetube doesn't support logins. It also breaks every now and then as Youtube does their thing, but the devs are usually pretty ontop of it.
