If I install the appropriate Firefox plugin, I see a "download" link. Does the
TOS say that isn't a valid download link?
IANAL, but I suppose they could say that wasn't "displayed by YouTube" and
then we get into the semantics and details of how a link is displayed and -- especially if
you are a naive user using someone else's computer with the plugin installed -- how
you can tell if the link you see is "displayed by YouTube."
Oh, but wait. I think this rabbit hole is already too deep. I'll stop digging.

Yes, that's related to copyright and permissions
of the material, but what
about that first sentence:
You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar
link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content
