I would say that the comparison hit a wall here. It seems that there is nothing between pushing a button to get money and learning how peertube is coded and is working internally for you... To be fair to YouTube creators, pushing a button isn't enough to make you money in most cases.
There is 2 things here: 1_ you want to make and host video. 2_ you want to make videos and make money with it.
In case 1 you don't care about money, so there is no problem. In case 2 you want money, to me if you want money you should know how to make money with the tools you have (or use other tools if needed). I agree that with Peertube it's harder to move from case 1 to case 2 easily as it is with YouTube. But the main focus of YouTube in the last years is not sharing content but making money. As I was saying Peertube is a video host software not a tool to make money with videos. It isn't build with this goal set as the primary one.
