> Question: Does it seem strange that YouTube has the copyright claimant decide on disputes and appeals of their own copyright claims?

From a very cynical perspective: Not really, it makes perfect sense as it is the cheapest option that also empowers the people who can make youtube's life a misery. (The big corporations that file these claims).

Hiring third party people to decide these or whatever mechanism you can think of would be more expensive for youtube than what they have now.
