Why is the only option for 1080p come with no audio? That seems a bit pointless

Because that's how YouTube serves that resolution, they split the video and the audio in two files, it's called DASH. If you have ffmpeg or avconv installed youtube-dl can download the video at 1080p and add the audio, you just need to run youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio THE_URL. We may make it the default behaviour, but there are some improvements that need to be done.
