Well — so is an empty room, because there is no air to breathe.
Pretty much everything is dangerous in some form. You can die from excessive water ingestion. You can die falling from a bicycle.
I don't think blanket statements like yours are helpful in actually making things safer. Safety low-voltage electrical systems are designed to be safe - not perfectly safe, but comparably safe to other ambient risks of life. We can't bubble-wrap everything. There is no 100%, only a question of how many nines you want after the dot on 99%.
But regardless, the videos at issue are quite obviously not in the "99% safe" category and YouTube's behavior is egregiously inacceptable.
