The system is broken; if youtube (etc) do not respond to DMCA takedown requests on time, their service may be taken down - and back when YT was new and people were uploading movies and whatnot left right and center, they were very close to that. The consequences for YT for not taking something down vs invalid takedowns are much worse and more direct.

I wouldn't have issue if this were simply running the DMCA process. But the YouTube process goes well beyond that. DMCA also allows for the content creator to issue a counter-notice and, as I understand it, that starts a clock and the party filling the takedown has 14 days to file a suit or the original takedown is reversed.
Naturally, that's not the process YouTube follows including, again as I understand it, the assignment of revenues, etc. with only their internal dispute process mattering.

That is incorrect. You can appeal a Content ID claim. Doing so forces the claimant to either retract their claim or file a DMCA takedown.

Not always...
"Videos removed or blocked due to YouTube's contractual obligations
(...)
Sometimes, this may mean the Content ID appeals and counter notification processes won't be available."
