Well, let's look at Google's ethics here - they still run ads on demonetized videos, right? So Google is okay making money off that, they just don't want the creator to make money off demonetized videos.

No, they don't. Fully demonetized videos don't run ads because that's the entire point of demonetization - that the video was deemed unsuitable for showing ads (because ad buyers don't want their ads showing next to certain content).

Partially demonetized videos may show ads, but from a reduced set of advertisers - those videos will make money but possibly not as much due to less desire for the ad space on that content.
