I agree in sentiment with you, but you can't compare yourself on a video from months ago and 200k views, to someone that gets 3M views in 24Hrs and does the "popular trendy content" that most people would watch. That's where the "big bucks" from ads will come.
Also it depends on which ads are paid for and the CTR $ amount. Like for example, in my country, if I had a video with 200k views over the span of 4 months, I surely wouldn't get 100 dollars. I would get less, because ads would pay less money for my country. But that's on the side to make my point, let's go to US where you are. A person that does something that gets viewed a lot in a couple of days will make much more money and also they have sponsored bits in it as well. The typical "buy this water bottle that cleans your asshole while you drink it with pussy flavor! Whoaaaaaa".
Again, I agree in sentiment. I personally don't mind not skipping an ad bit if it's related to the topic and/or related to the channel's content and if I like the creator. To give them "watched minutes". What bothers me is you sometimes have like 4 ads that cut off your video (like the old days of watching tv) in 5 minutes and then all the ads across the entire website. Is just atrocious.
I think, if you started uploading "regularly" and a type of content that gets on avg 200-250k per video in a couple of days or a week, and is curated (remember, no showing the finger, no yelling to the camera upset, no calling out YT for being stupid, no cussing, etc.) you'd get much more than 100 dollars per vid. Maybe not much, but more for sure. I'm not saying you SHOULD (please, don't ever do that) but I'm saying if you WOULD, that's probably what would happen. Nowadays, YT is the "regular 9-5" grind but making videos, uploading in certain timeframes and schedules, and getting amounts of traction so in the long run is profitable. It's not like it was before some years ago when even sub count mattered (remember pewdiepie vs the indians, that was fun).
So in conclusion I don't think that your point is invalid, in fact is what I agree with, but your example doesn't showcase this very well to back it up. Or maybe it does! If you look at it from a different POV where you're saying "if you make content you like with no filter, this is what it would look like!" then I assume in that case, it's one of the best examples lol
PS: Mr Clinton CEO would fire you in a heartbeat if you changed the thumbnails where he shows up for you doing silly faces. No greenies for you, Mr Rossmann!
