DCMA Claims, and DMCA Counter Notification are required to have certin things in them to be legally valid, My guess is that form text has all of the legally required elements, and if you submit a counter notification that is missing even one element that is required it is perfectly legal to reject it

Remember DMCA is not written to protect you the user, or protect the little guy, DMCA was written for RIAA/MPAA by the RIAA/MPAA

Counter notifications that include all legally required elements but do not valid their form letter are still valid. Yet this probably doesn't mash with Google's "Automate all the things!" strategy, so they are instead shafting everyone and hoping they get away with it due to their wealth even though YouTube is blatantly breaking the law.

I have zero love for YouTube, Google or Alphabet. But I feel like saying "YouTube is blatantly breaking the law" needs to be better researched to be taken serious than "yeah probably".
