While the takedown request is outrageous, I'd probably respond the same in MS's shoes. Frankly defending it is not worth the corporate lawyering required from MS's perspective. That said, I think if Youtube-dl self-hosted on Gitlab or something and received a similar takedown, they could probably mount a successful defense.
