Why does he need a contract. He can just make a YouTube channel and start making money from ad revenue (I know it's not much), sponsors, patreon, memberships and so on.
You answered your own question. Not having to deal with all those different revenue streams is worth something and I'm sure Apple offered him more than he'd get that way, too
Millions of creators are "dealing" with them just fine. Not sure what so hard about setting up a patreon account or coordinating with sponsors. Pretty sure it is much easier than dealing with a multi-trillion dollar corporation. It just feels wrong he's putting his voice behind a paywall where many people could just benefit from it if it were on YouTube.
Because they can't get actual content deals.
YouTube videos are a terrible source of revenue.
