Three copyright strikes and Google may delete your entire YT channel, while they continue to allow (and support via their "content id" service) an
unlimited number of
patently fraudulent claims from accounts that are obviously just spamming claims to see how much ad revenue they can steal. This imbalance is at the core of this issue. Google will severely punish creators for alleged copyright violations, but allows fraudulent claims.
If creators have to work under a "3 copyright strikes" Sword of Damocles[1], the accounts of people making copyright claims need similar restriction. If you submit 3 fraudulent copyright claims, you lose your account. You cannot submit any more claims, "content id" no longer flags your works, and you no longer receive payments from any ad revenue claims on other videos. This may sound harsh, but so is deleting someone's channel after 3 copyright claims.
