I don’t understand how perjury applies here.

The DMCA has a (de facto toothless) perjury clause for knowingly submitting a takedown for content that doesn’t violate the copyright of the claimant. That doesn’t apply to YouTube claims that are handled via their internal tools outside of the DMCA process.

On YouTube, it appears to work just fine on other sites like GitHub.

When has a corporation been punished for perjury for false DMCA takedown notices on Github?
If you make a false copyright infringemenet claim, you commit perjury.
