If you sell a "murderizer 3000" and explain in the owner's manual how to inflict a fatal wound and maybe also not leave any evidence behind it doesn't take a genius to argue you're selling a murder weapon, to murderers.

Have you seen gun ads? Firearm manufacturers basically do market their products as murder weapons.

Right, that's my point. You can't make a tool called Youtube-dl with source controlled test cases that download copywritten material from Youtube and then claim it's not for downloading copywritten material from Youtube.
