If youtube.com doesn't end up on the Safe Browsing blacklist because of phishing videos, but your own website can easily end up there, it's a pretty clear case of Google abusing their power.

YouTube doesn't allow you to put your credentials into text box and hit send. Google sites, on the other hand, does pose a disk, but they'll likely be treated the same as any other domain on the PSL.
In my experience, safe browsing does theoretically allow you to report scams and phishing in terms of user generated content, but it won't apply unless there's an actual interactive web page on the other end of the link.
There is the occasional false positive but many good sites that end up on that list are there because their WordPress plugin got hacked and somewhere on their site they are actually hosting malware.
I've contacted the owners of hacked websites hosting phishing and malware content several times, and most of the time I've been accused of being the actual hacker or I've been told that I'm lying. I've given up trying to be the good guy and report the websites to Google and Microsoft these days to protect the innocent.
Google's lack of transparency what exact URLs are hosting bad material does play a role there.
What is a phishing video?
YouTube hosts millions of videos telling people that they are the government/your bank and that you should move money/contact a scam center/buy cryptocurrency. Even worse is the fact you can pay to turn these videos into ads that will roll in front of other videos.
On the whole of YouTube, it's a tiny sliver of a percentage, but because YouTube has grown too large to moderate, it's still hosting these videos.
If Google applied the same rules they apply to the safe browsing list, they'd probably get YouTube flagged multiple times a week.
