and seem to be the only one seeing this. I don't see 4K either.

Are you on a beta? I'm on 14.0.1 and have tried many 4k videos and none have shown an option above 1080p.
It was there with the last so many beta of 14.0 and the publicly release. However Apple must have reverted back to older code and its no longer working on 14.2 b1 on IPadOS.
Update: As of today I am able to stream at 2160P in the YouTube app again using my IPP 11” 2018.
This is what I am seeing to, only those showcase videos play at full 4K HDR in my iPhone 11 Pro Max and on my 2020 iPad Pro all is limited to 1080P.
I then tried to play this MKBHD video on my iPhone, it supposed to play at 4K but on my iPhone it’s showing 1080P
Yet on my TV it shows it’s a 4K video
YouTube 15.39.4 came out 1 day ago to replace 15.38.2 is still not working to play 4K on iPadOS 14.2 b1
Likely the same with iOS 14.2 b1

I think YouTube are controlling it their end, rather than it being tied to updates.
Did I disable something or do I need to enable something because now that option in YouTube video playback is gone for me.
The Youtube guys posted (I saw it somewhere I forget, on twitter I think) that it is on the YouTube end.
The device is capable, but suspect YouTube are still detecting "iPad" and not enabling it.
Now its no longer an iPad issue, but the Youtube end needs to be updated. I wouldn't hold your breath, but according to twitter they're onto it.

Nothing to do with iOS updates, it's all on YouTube's end. They keep enabling it and disabling it randomly (well to us, I suspect they are still doing A/B testing, or just messing with us).
Funny I seem to think its the opposite that Apple keeps breaking the support as they release these incremental betas. I know it was working with iPadOS 14.0 then upgraded to 14.2 beta 1 with exact same app version and it is no longer working. That doesn't point to Google in that instance. Probably blame on both sides maybe?
