If I had to speculate based off my experience at other FANG companies, the videos still exist in the Youtube infrastructure somewhere to allow for the possibility of a human intervention to restore them (For example, to allow for recovering from a system gone haywire or just to give time for manually reversed decisions).
That said, I'd also guess there's a countdown timer before they get deleted permanently.
I hope you can get a human from YouTube to talk to you.
It may benefit you to post a link to the youtube channel so someone can proactively investigate. Lots of google employees read this forum.
