YouTube speed setting please help

So I'm shocked that this isn't asked more often. But is there any update that certain Roku models, the YouTube app no longer has the playback speed setting? My Roku bar has it. My Roku ultra had it a few years ago but not anymore. Is there word from Google about this? From Roku?

    Yep, totally sucks.  Cmon Google, get this fixed, it’s basic functionality.

        it’s very simple, the YouTube app on Roku does not have the setting for controlling the playback speed of the video.  The playback speed setting is available on every other smart tv and app for YouTube that I’ve ever used and it’s maddening that the Roku app for YouTube does not have this basic functionality.

        Even worse, from other posts its seems that this functionality was available in the past and was removed.

        Please forward a request to your programmers to restore the playback speed functionality on the YouTube app.

        Thanks!
