"companies like Youtube actively work to prevent restricted music from being uploaded"
Search for The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, or Pink Floyd on Youtube and let me know what you find. None of those artists want any of their content digitally distributed (none of their content is even on Spotify). So, unless they have some sort of deal with these artists that I don't know about these are all unlicensed recordings.
And I do realize that a lot of these are live recordings, which have their own issues. But, plenty of them aren't and have millions of views.
