Can anyone think of a good reason that YouTube does not tell you which videos you've already watched and which ones you haven't seen yet?
It must be for some nefarious reason, but I can't work it out.

Seems to me that YT would have to know who you are in order to tell you whether you've accessed something they're presenting.
Wait, is this a trick question?
I'm always trying to download .pdfs from links that are flagging rough terrain in my performance graph of ethernet send/recieve and very slow speeds as well and when this kind of behavior doesn't have any stamp like time-of-day or similar they often report internet connection on the fritz and then terminate in the browser. Often after turning in reports of file size way more than that suggested to me before I clicked on the link.
Payload of bad content perhaps? A sign that the website doesn't like me and they're throttling my conversation?
WWW: it either does or it doesn't ... stop complaining about it.

YouTube always knows who I am because my Chrome browser is usually logged into my Gmail account.

Oh, I see. This is a programming question then.
Try logging off your GMail account, shutting down your Chrome browser, fire up Edge, go to YT, find the video you're looking for and download it to a local folder. Running a file search on that vast compendium and observing the returns should pretty much eliminate the question of whether you've viewed the presentation before.

It looks like AI has been generating your responses.
My question was why they don't tell me. My question was not, how can I find out.

AENN!
Wrong answer. We were looking for the question "Ok, bigshot, how do I download YT choices to my hardrive?"

It's called YouTube Algorithm. Understanding it is more difficult than understanding my wife's / manager's mind.

Just because it's YouTube, don't mean they can't be dumb. Between the obvious censorship, removing the thumbs down button as soon as we know which videos got disliked... they're too busy trying to control our minds to bother with actual usability.
Oh and a down vote doesn't prove me wrong.

Interestingly, there is an extension for Firefox which returns the dislike view count. I'm not sure I trust its accuracy after finding out that the 'Windows 11 Inside story' video only has 75 downvotes, but it is available.

It does, doesn't it? Or at least for me it does - it shows a red bar below the video which indicates how far through it you are: A full bar indicates you watched to the end, and empty one that you haven't started it.
Admittedly, that's only when you open / refresh the page, but ...

If you have an account, it certainly does. There's a History menu option under "you" on the left on the web page. On my Roku the History option is under "library" which seems a bit odd to me.
If you don't have an account, do you delete cookies when you close your browser, regularly clean your browser history, or otherwise clean up locally stored web browsing data? Any of those might account why YouTube doesn't remember what you've seen.

When I view the YT home tab, the images presented will have a thin red line along the bottom. If I started watching a video and then did not complete it, the red line will be an indication of how far into the video I was. If I completed the video it will be across the whole bottom of the displayed image. Don't know if it does this if you do a search though. This is on the general home tab that displays what it thinks you want to watch.

If your goal is so you don't sit through the same videos again, remember that as far as YouTube is concerned, the only thing that matters is that they make you watch their ads.

It does. Click on the three horizontal lines (menu icon) on the top left corner to open the sidebar and select History from the sidebar menu to view the list of watched videos in reverse chrono order. You can also clear your history.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
But on the page where you actually watch a video, it shows the suggested videos on the right-hand side. And that is where I want to see whether I've watched a video or not.
