They don't care if a few eggs are broken, chalk it up to the price of progress for eliminating the overhead of vetting requests. Money in the bank. Maybe flooding Google with fraudulent requests would force them to take the issue of seriously. The moment overhead of litigation stemming from fraudulent requests exceeds that of legitimate requests they'll fix that problem. For that reason perhaps some individuals collaborating to build network of bots which systematically flag everything indiscriminately with DMCA takedown requests would be justified.

As of now it's pretty easy for Google to ignore the issue. One of many reasons corporations achieving the size of Alphabet inevitably becomes anti-consumer. They don't hear claims of fraud over the din of golden coins dropping into their accounts. I'd wager if Google Ads and Youtube were independent corporation they'd take supporting their customers and fraud a lot more seriously.
