I hope they get it resolved soon. We face this quite a bit at work.
It is a big deal as far as being level AA compliant.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Inaccessible YouTube Embeds
I'm sure YouTube team will look into this. I'm sharing this post with my contacts at Google (who were earlier part of YouTube team) to see if they can forward the same to current team of Google. I contracted with YouTube in 2015 and during that time, team was pretty serious about accessibility.
Hope that is being continued.
Thanks,
