If only YouTube had a large parent company with a significant portion of a trillion dollars that could be spent actually taking care of this problem.
Instead we get, “Let the bot script handle it. Oh, the system doesn’t work? Too bad.”
Their algorithm is absolutely terrible however and doesn't absolve them of allowing incredibly awful content to exist on their platform. However this is simply not an easy problem to solve when you serve such a large community and want to bend to support as much of it as possible.
Money isn't the answer to all the world's problems. But I'm intrigued to hear how you think they should "take care of the problem". Maybe you can share your innovative python script that solves the problem for good.
Hire actual humans to review disputed decisions, while putting in a proper appeals process that is also overseen by actual thinking humans.

I'm not Google. I don't pretend that all of the world's problems can be solved by computers, and then fail while trying.
Oh wait, Youtube have just gone bankrupt.
You are describing Alphabet.
This extends far beyond just the copyright claims. There is all sort of objectionable content being uploaded that needs to be removed, and it's easy to find literal neo-Nazi propaganda in the YouTube comments, as well as all sorts of racial slurs. Reporting this seems to have little effect in my experience.
I don't have any good answers to this problem, but it's frustrating that YouTube is so opaque in their process. I have no idea what happened to my reports of neo-Nazi content for example (it wasn't removed) and also no notification that it was reviewed but denied. I hold little love for Facebook, but in my experience their process is a lot better.
