I mean YouTube has educational content, but that is far from its primary purpose. Assuming YouTube is completely unrestricted it wouldn't be hard for Facebook to add enough content to be arguably educational.

Hell plenty of people use TikTok for educational reasons. I'm not saying it's right, but you could argue TikTok is educational in the same way you can argue YouTube is educational.

Now if YouTube is forced to classify it's educational content the same way they classify children's content (aka poorly), maybe that'll work.
