Arlen,

as you have read the very beginning and the very end of the post,
 and also the short P.S. post, 
you know that all depends on the intended or implied meaning of best.

If the OP means best=recommendation, it is OK. 
If the OP means best=comparative pseudoobjective evaluation, it is
 not so OK.

The same for the readers.
Asking for best is understood by some people reasonably and they
 provide their recommendations ( as I did as well
 ).
But some people are willing to argument for long hours, if the
 best is A or B or C.

Part of answering is teaching asking proper questions.
The good example are the site policies of many StackExchange Q/A sites
where many questions are rejected
until they are improved.
If a child asks how many wolves live in a herd, a parent corrects
 the child wolves live in packs. 
If an OP asks for a recommended app, it is clear what it means.

Be careful when making statements using always or never, as such a
 statement is frequently false.
( Note that I have not said always ).

Using good instead of best was kind of unfair,
as a subjective list of "good applications" is semantically very
 closed to a list of "recommended applications".

Saying that, a question "What is a good  application for purpose
 X" is very OK with me
 and I would provide several, if I was familiar with them 

----

BTW, even if all people on the Earth had said NewPipe is the best
 YT client for viewing YT videos ( without mentioning this
 purpose, Google would say it is not good for their business
 model, so not the best), then it is still not a property of the
 application, but of the relation of people to it.

One can also say the best client for watching YT videos is VLC or
 other player, using NP just as a downloader. :-).
This I do.

It would have to be specified as an online viewer category.
Then I would consider NP as the best online YT viewer.

BTW, Happy New Year 2021.
