As a consumer, the direct relationship between me and the content creator is much more important to me than those other issues. Those "other parties" other issues are actually between the various content creators, sponsors, and platform providers, and aren't really my problem. I'm quite tired of those other parties interposing themselves into my relationship with creators.

Right, but as a consumer, you don't have to deal with the ramifications of the other parties failing to be paid, a scenario which generally results in the content creator having their content pulled for incorrect / unauthorized (re-)use.

Such issues came up in the old days, but they were settled without interposing themselves directly in my life. Back in the 90's, my music collection didn't start partially disappearing because of these things.

Why would they split anything with youtube sponsers or care about deals they are not a party to. That's youtube's business. In those cases the content creator is paid by two parties.

I think the issue is with collab videos (multiple parties) for which creators can setup a sharing agreement.
In such a video every currency unit inside youtube (Ads, Red, ...) can be split up automatically according to some per-video sharing agreement. Everything that comes through Brave has a single recipient, the channel operator (because Brave can't read this contract).
revshare is complicated and governed by, among other factors, deals YouTube makes with various parties. Brave doesn't have access to any of that information, so they couldn't possibly know how to split revenue between the uploader of the video and all the other parties that might have content embedded in the video, even if it were their intention to do so.
