The reason is posting FPV videos on YouTube makes them commercial operators and subject to Part 107 penalties. And there have been some big ones, a $182,000 fine in one case. It's balancing act because their business is based entirely on illegal FPV, which will eventually go away because of Remote ID. There will be no getting around it. The FAA has thought this through tying everything to registration and a potential $250,000 fine / 3 years in prison for blowing it off.

Even the dullest FPV idiots are figuring out that not broadcasting is a sign that person has also probably not registered. There is a lot of stupid talk on FPV forums about how to spoof a Remote ID signal. That spoofing RID would be another crime in itself shows the type of people naturally attracted to FPV. It might take a while, but like AMA it will all come crashing down for the FPVers.
