The one I’ve noticed is that for videos with the 1080p “Enhanced Bitrate” option, the free 1080p video looks like a blurry mess compared to normal 1080p content.

From my experience it doesn’t matter if there is an “Enhanced Bitrate” option or not. My assumption is that around the time that they added this option they dropped the regular 1080p bitrate for all videos. However they likely didn’t eagerly re-encode old videos. So old videos still look OK for “1080p” but newer videos look trash whether or not the “1080p Enhanced Bitrate” option is available.
