You think the player is going to look different just because you're watching it from an all-22 angle or something?
You think we can't pick up on a sense of speed, acceleration, suddenness, size, playstyle, and a number of other established patterns through YouTube clips? That somehow that's going to look different if viewed at a different angle?
All-22 etc is great for watching schemes, watching routes develop downfield etc. Really breaking down the how/why a receiver is/isn't getting open. But it's not like we can't glean other information from basic broadcast cut ups.
What i will say though is you gotta watch the right shit. 3 Minute highlight videos aint it.
But you can learn a lot about a player by watching the full highlights, the 25+ Minute videos, along with any of the "VS" stuff you can find, i.e "Patrick Mahomes VS" will lead you to full game clips etc. And Senior Bowl drills are great too if that player has them.

You can get a good read on a lot of players just watching their games on YouTube.
Safety is the position where All 22 is necessary because you can't judge their instincts without the larger view.
