The YouTube Kids app does not have any clickable ads[0], so I think the best solution is to bring this same setup to the main app & the website on videos that are marked "For Kids." You can advertise the latest Happy Meal, a new Disney movie, or the latest video game, without letting the user accidentally click a link and begin being tracked.
I do agree that singling out YouTube is strange, but it definitely got people to click.
