The helper handles the sourcing of widevine libs used for playing DRM encrypted media. I'm not sure YouTube offers any widevine encrypted media so it's probably not required, but if you have plans to use Netflix or Amazon add-ons (and others) it's something that you will need. It's harmless to add in all cases.
