From what I understand (I don't have sources for this, other than memory):
Processing the DMCA notices has a cost. Nothing requires the DMCA notice to be in a machine readable format (although AI is getting better at this type of task), so it often requires a human in the loop. And they were getting sued by the copyright holders regardless of protections under DMCA. So they struck a deal with the copyright holders, that instead of them sending Google a DMCA, Google would provide an interface and automation to handle this, in return for the rights holders dropping their lawsuits.

Unless this changed very recently, notices are still being sent to google and just like google AI they fail horribly in that regard. So if that's the case i feel like the cost didn't disappear and probably not even lower and this is just an additional tool to make lives of google users hell. Plus the fact that google does have non existent support this makes their services really hard to recommend to anyone.
