Is there any reason there isn't a desktop app for this so all traffic comes from my IP only?

Why does it have to be a web server infra?

Others mentioned Freetube, but note also that you could just host your own Invidious instance on localhost.

Yes but my point was thats very difficult compared to a native app without a web server stack
