That's not the case, though. There are even python modules that let you evaluate JS code in v8 (Chrome's JS interpreter). It'd be pretty trivial for youtube-dl to make use of that if the author thought it was worth doing.

It is the case, not too mention v8 pulls in an extremely expensive c++ compiler in the SDK while quickjs can compile with tinycc.

Open source is not enough anymore, "lean" open source is the way now, SDK included.
