The guidelines already let you use a different title in this case: "use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait"

Good to know, I wasn't aware of this.

Is it clickbait when it's completely accurately describing what is going on?

...by now even youtube video previews are the evolution of clickbait, they would make even dante's divine comedy or The Great Gatsby look like total garbage

You can hide them, it's your turn.

Uh, not wanting to read the clickbaity title is not the the same as not wanting to see the actual video.

Unfortunately it's quite common on Youtube to have creators almost apologize for the baity title (but still use it plus matching thumbnail, to feed The Algorithm).
