So, you need python3.7 or later to use yt-dlp.
The solution to this problem is not difficult; simply install python 3.7 or higher (you will also be asked to install some files, but you can accept them all) and run as root like this;
I just checked my system in some detail. I found that python3.11 is included in the openSUSE repositories, that yt-dlp is installed, and that yt-dlp lists python3.11 as a dependency. Guess what? python3.11 is installed on my system. It seems I didn't dig deep enough.

Curious side-issue: /usr/bin/python3 is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3.6. /usr/bin/python3.6 is executable, but its file type is manual page. The real executable is µsr/bin/python3.6m. Say what??
Sounds strange. On my system python3.6 and python3.6m are hardlinked, and the corresponding *-config files are softlinked. All are executable.
Very strange. I checked the requires, and nothing depends on python 3.6, so I may just go ahead and remove it.
