If you want to escape US law, feel free to use gitee.com located in China.
Or, push your politicians to change the laws.
Microsoft has no way of overcoming the DMCA law themselves, other major companies have continued to lose lawsuits. It doesn't help that mega monopoly entities like Disney want it to stay taht way and will bribe politicians and others.

The takedown section only applies to posting copyrighted material without permission, which youtube-dl was clearly not doing. The ban on circumvention tools allows for a claim in civil court, during which a judge may restrict availability of the program.
