So it seems they are only expecting ads in YouTube music, so I understand when they are then confused to see ads in their YouTube videos

It possibly highlights a problem that I've always had with youtube music. Anyone can label their video as "music" and it will show up in youtube music. The biggest offender are rip off artists that name themselves after existing bands and then upload "new" tracks designed to get people to give their fake band the views that the real band is getting. Then, presumably, they take their ad revenue and peace out. It bothers me, because I'll look up an artist and there will be some crazy ass Middle Eastern band putting out new "Black Sabbath" songs, polluting the artist page with bullshit. It's even worse when one of the tracks shows up in a radio station. Google really needs to separate music and video.
