Oh, the people who make the x264 settings for YouTube know and care about what they're doing, and certainly aren't gimping anything. I think most YouTube quality issues are due to source issues. When I've tested with difficult content in pristine quality, they've produced reasonably good quality for those bitrates and encoding times.
Not what I could have hand-tuned on my own with a lot more CPU cycles, but their business is going to care a lot about picojoules per pixel!
