Yeah, YouTube definitely has a role to play here. I've heard about people getting copyright strikes for contesting unfair takedowns, even when logically that should fall back to the DMCA system and the claimant should be ready to put their money where their mouth is (aka sue over it).
Sites like YouTube and Twitch (and Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc) are completely uninterested in following the law in any reasonable manner, and would rather fold the second they get any corporate pressure rather than let the parties settle it themselves.
Notice how independently hosted sites covering the same material (including major news sites) are often completely unaffected by these issues, since even companies like Nintendo realise how shaky their legal case might be if they tried to pursue it.
