I did not say this claim is DMCA.
I said this situation is a result of DMCA, the law.
Basically, why deal with DMCA when you can just summarily take stuff down or demonetize even without any DMCA claim.
I am pretty sure without DMCA and other similar, made to order laws Google would not bother taking stuff down or building any kind of AI to do this. Because, you know, it costs. And makes people post less content.
So yes, this is result of DMCA.

No, its a result of bog-standsrd copyright infringement claims (the DMCA safe harbor weakened those against hosts generally, but then claims made in the massive Viacom suit—which, before it was settled, resulted on Google being forced to turn over the entire viewing history of YouTube to Viacom—and others involved YouTube being outside the scope of the DMCA safe harbor.)
