This 100%. Can we pleade stop the "Google supports this/doesn't care" narrative? On YouTube alone, 300 hours of content are uploaded every minute.

Additionally, keeping illegal videos up on YouTube, Facebook, etc. isn't even profitable. It drives advertisers and users away and makes companies look bad. Not to mention that getting monetized is a process you need to go through and often takes a while.
