That's true for the copyright claims, though not for the controversial videos that YouTube also demonetizes. Still, I'm not sure who would gain by taking away that option, and forcing them to decide whether to take down the video or not.
I guess it gets easier to claim "censorship", but on the other hand, it gets easier for YouTube to justify taking any controversial video down: they can just claim (truthfully or not) that they have no advertisers willing to pay, and therefore under the new rule they must remove the video altogether.
