seit tvOS 14 bzw. HomePod OS Version 14 kann man den HomePod als Standardmäßige Audioausgabe vom Apple TV wählen

Ist mir bekannt und wird von Anfang an genutzt. Fehlerfrei mit Apple TV + Apps ATV & Music.

Das betrifft dementsprechend alle Apps und liegt sehr daher wohl nicht an AirPlay 1/2.

Bedaure, aber Zitat aus ID4 "Das ist so nicht ganz korrekt, Sir!"
Und deshalb hatte ich explizit gefragt, bei welchem Audio Du Probleme hast.

Performance of YouTube on the ATV AirPlaying to an AirPlay 2 speaker is usually completely unreliable. However after I reconnected a couple times as usual I was going to try to diagnose the issue a bit I could not get it to mess up again.
It seemed like it either revert to using system audio (directed through ATV) vs media audio (directed to wherever its pointed). Or since it seem to drop AirPlay coming out of an AD it could be something to do with the audio route temporarily disappearing causing it to route back to default.
YouTube uses their own player (AVPlayerLayer) likely to match their other 'YouTube for TV' apps on smart tv's, cable boxes, consoles, etc etc in form and function. Watching the processes of the ATV in console show TVAirPlay so its not like they dont have background audio enabled.
Apps that have the best AirPlay audio out performance are the apps that use Apples AV player. You can tell when its Apples player in an app because when you swipe down in a video you will see Info, Subtitle and Audio options right there in the player (AVPlayerViewController).
A lot of apps that use custom media players don't seem to support AirPlay audio very well.
The root of the problem lays in the Youtube app and it’s likely that Google will not solve this any time soon as it concerns Apple.

Wohlgemerkt, bei Steuerung Apple TV, FB und TV. Das ist ein Ding, um das sich Google kümmern muss, AirPlay ist nicht deren Präferenz.
Der Zugriff über ATV mit dem iPhone soll besser funktionieren, auch bei den HomePods.
