Why is Sonos ignoring YouTube music as my default music service when I am specifying it as my default? 

It is not an acceptable service to default to Spotify when I have not chosen that as my default option. 

I have seen other queries dismissed by saying Youtube is not supported but obviously it is supported as a service and I can select it as my preferred service?

So make it PREFERRED.

Have you tried a call Sonos Support to discuss it?

When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

They might also be able to forward this as a feature request if it isn't available now.

You definitely have an issue of some type. Can’t say it’s Sonos related as l can set YouTube music as default. See pic’s below. How are you trying to make it default? Maybe I’m not understanding your issue 🤔

Your Preferred Service just determines which service goes in the first position of Your Services. A convenience. I don’t think it has any other significance.

The only notion of a ”Default” service that I can determine has to do with Sonos Voice Control.

Set your default music service for Sonos Voice Control

And YouTube Music is not listed as one of the services you can select:

Content services that work with Sonos Voice Control
