Ultimately, they have no obligation to provide you something of value for free, and given that you do apparently use YouTube, they are objectively providing you something of value. They're completely within their rights to not do that.

If you aren't getting paid for your content, they'd probably be glad to not have to host it anymore. Anyone with content where it's worth them hosting it is getting paid.
