How can YT channels breakdown movies and trailers with showing the actual footage, but they have to mute the music audio a lot of the time?

I see this with a lot of movie reaction/breakdown channels where there seems to be no issues showing anything video related, but they always comment about needing to mute the music in fear of strikes.

On the other hand, I see music reaction channels (with millions of subs) just playing and reacting to the audio like it’s no big deal.

They aren’t muting because they legally have to. They’re doing it because content filters can’t reliably tell the difference between unlicensed music being used in any old YT video and a clip being used from a movie as part of fair use.
