I have music or whatever it's called now because I music and red together where the same price as just red. I still have it because I use YouTube more than streaming services like Netflix and don't mind supporting creators I'm watching. I use some of the features of premium on the app on my phone and fire stick too which could be worked around but would be a hassle.
For a vast majority of people who mainly view YouTube as a free service I highly doubt they'd be willing to pay $7 a month let alone $14. A large portion of their viewer base is kids and they aren't going to pay. Maybe if they add stickers or whatever TikTok is going nuts over as part of the monthly sub.
Kids can join a family plan, of course.
