Media providers are generally legal-phobic

They're terrified of a bigger corporate interest getting in a pissing contest with their parent company / investment group. But they're even more terrified of the regulatory power of the federal government. YouTube isn't going to take down an ICE video that's pirated Sabrina Carpenter any sooner than it's going to take down one of Trump's sniff films of airstrikes in the Caribbean.

If nothing else, it makes it a little more hostile for arseholes to use music or licensed content

This is only a technique that works on small fish in a big pond.
