Cannot confirm, in my usage I have never encountered this. I use Newpipe almost daily and do not have a YT login.
Occasionally Google has done something (deliberately or coincidentally) to limit third party app access, but that's usually worked around very quickly.
Plenty of others can confirm

It's been going on for months, especially VPN users.
Okay, I'll click your Google link —
— and certainly none mentioning Newpipe 🤷
Strange, I'm getting pages and pages of links about third party clients barfing

Maybe it's that "cleaner Google" url hack (udm=14) that's reallllly cleaning it up for ye?
Or just Google doing their best filter bubble. I don't think they have any useable info on me any more, haven't used their search for ages.
Either way, I'll take your word for it and just thank my lucky star that I can continue to use Newpipe without problems.
