"Might"? They're already doing it.

YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can't watch anything above 720p on my desktop anymore (with gigabit internet).

YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.

I was watching 4k yesterday. 🤞 Ublock has it sorted by the time they find me.
