I want to live in the world you live in! In the one I live in 1k is a lot of money to a lot of people to gamble on an uncertain process.

We're not talking about mom and pop, here, really. This is presumably a population that is making money on YouTube. Yes, $1000 is a lot to the average person, but as a business expense it's really not much. And getting your channel banned is career (or business) ending.

Mom and pop have not much to lose on public YouTube content, content creators have.
