The fault here lies with the US government for passing an easily abused law like the DMCA where there are woefully insufficient consequences for fraudulent takedown requests and where fighting fraudulent takedowns requires you to dox yourself to the individual committing DMCA fraud. I can't blame businesses for not having sufficient staff to investigate takedown fraud when any business that did would probably be uncompetitive given how easy it is to send fraudulent takedowns and how much time and money it costs to investigate them. Most customers would almost certainly rather accept the risk of being the victim of a fraudulent DMCA takedown than pay extra to avoid it, in part because most people probably don't understand how easy it is to abuse the DMCA.
