Many creators don't want to use music claimed by the big names, but they might not have a choice.
For example, footage used in a review (say a clip of a TV show) necessarily comes with any background music. If the TV show is using licensed music in that scene, it then shows up in the Youtube video.
Even real-life, vlog-style footage can have unsolicited music.
There's also a full spectrum of Content ID claims that are frivolous because of over-matching. Even public-domain footage (especially video) can be claimed. For example, if a news agency uploads its own news report to the Content ID system for matching but that news report contains public-domain material such as a NASA video, that raw video itself can be reported as 'matching' in other uses.
Whether this effect is malicious or unintentional is a subject of debate.
