This would not be enforceable. Do you understand the scale of Youtube?

Also why would YT get involved in the content of videos themselves, beyond legal moderation requirements?

That's a slippery slope in itself, and it would just lead to a cat-and-mouse game where creators try to incorporate sponsorships in less obvious/visible ways, which is a net bad thing for the audience.

Now at least creators are required to disclose when their videos contain sponsored segments or paid advertisements. What you propose would take away that accountability.

As it stands, you can see when a video includes ads, and you can choose to not watch it. That's your choice.
