So this is WAI per current copyright laws?

I strongly suspect that Youtube makes no attempt to assess whether or not the claimed copyright is in fact in the public domain, so I wouldn't quite call it "working as intended." But, for the next few months, it's not wrong.
For now, at least until they extend it another 100 years.

I don't think there's the political will to keep doing that.
