I don't speak for the person you are asking, but for me the reason is that google is evil, and huge. They don't need my money, and I wouldn't pay them for any reason.

I expect that if the workplace officially needed to use YouTube, then that workplace would be paying for that subscription. But if its just that sometimes someone wants to include video from YouTube in a presentation or something - then probably not.

The way they worded it, it sounded like dealing with YouTube was their job, like maybe managing a company's YT account. So yeah, I totally expect a company to pay for YT premium. I'm certainly not suggesting they do it, unless they're a freelancer or something.
