Why does Google even care? They should make Microsoft file takedown notices for each of these installs while at the same time promoting Linux after all their own OS runs on Linux (I know it's a piece of junk that can't compare to a typewriter but still)
Google doesn't care, this is most likely an algorithm taking down the video based on the title. Not the first time the algorithm took down videos accidentally see the copyright case below for example:

That was years ago, now it is worse.
Most likely Microsoft is paying them
Or just sending them takedown requests that Google acts on by default.
