This french copyright troll doesn't hold any rights on YouTube (the website) so the DMCA removal request is invalid

No content hosted on newpipe.net is owned by that copyright troll, nor there are instructions or links to pirate that exact content so I don't understand how it it can be considered valid. I should be rejected, together with all the subsequent requests

Because it's a YouTube clone android app that removes most ads. So sounds like googly is just using the take down request as an excuse to get try and get ride of the app.

Google can 100% just send a request by themselves, they don't need to rely on third party copyright trolls

True but this way Google still look like the good guy while throwing the french company that posted the DMCA under the bus as the reason for the delisting. Just my observation but could be completely wrong.
