I wonder if the revenue stats are accurate. The #1 site on YouTube according to this is https://www.youtube.com/@tseries making near $20m in the last month. However, it is India focused. My understanding is that India has the lowest monetization rates.

I’m pretty sure this is just estimating Adsense revenue based on some fixed CPM. Many large YouTubers make the bulk of their revenue from sponsorships and brand deals. I would take the numbers with a large grain of salt.
Per capita figures do not matter in such comparisons when the population involved is massive. YouTube is huge in India.
