All countries (except maybe some third world shit-holes) require permits for building work, and usually an inspection if you do any of it yourself. Canada and most US states are particularly bad when it comes to needing state permits for anything beyond hanging a picture frame.
Of course you could ignore that and do it anyway, as many people do. Who would know unless you’re recording it and uploading it to a 15 million sub Youtube channel?

If they've already spent 10k, is it not worth it to continue using them instead of then paying 1k a day to use?
If they're renting at 1k a day that adds up fast.

These videos only need a last generation prosumer grade camera from Sony/Nikon/Canon that's focused on video stuff, around the $1500 mark. Anything over is just severe gear acquisition syndrome. There's no reason to get a red/bm for these shitty YouTube videos let alone an arri camera.

But he NEEEDS his footage to be 18k or whatever the fuck in the off chance that one day he'll do a remaster or something

He has been doing this for over 7 years now, and he has been doing it without the required maintenance for the longest while.
He also has a playlist vlogging all the shenanigans that costed him millions.

You assume linus paid retail price for those cameras. They probably made a deal with black magic to get the cameras cheap and/or "free".
LTT doesn't need the quality of equipment they use since all the quality is lost in the youtube/floatplane encoding.

Yeah true. I guess with me I feel that if they're making millions they might as well use the best cameras

Problem, even if you remove all other factors from the equation, him spending more on cameras doesn't actually give us better videos - they don't increase the quality or quantity of the content produced, just the raw pixel count. If something is funny a 8k, it'll still be funny at 1080p.
If you bring the other factors in, it actually makes it preferable to use the cheap DLSR or entry grade 2k res camera. Having less raw data to work with speeds up turnaround times on ingest, editing and uploading, lets the editors focus more time on iteration or graphics or whatever editions they need to make over letting the machine cook a test color grading profile on 16x the data, and generally just lets them do the shit the audience cares about. These savings either go into having to be less aggressive about merch shilling, reducing merch margins to make it more affordable, or additional useful production staff to increase content cadence (He's already way too high on that, but matter of principle n all) all of which is actually of value to the audience.
All a crazy high end grade camera offers is a slightly easier time doing very invasive editing actions, like digitally inserting CGI stuff, nothing that LTT actually uses, and theoretical future proofing - a lot of late 90's early 2000's media is stuck in compression hell because digital video can't really be remastered the way film can be. So you shoot way beyond what's viable now, and it'll probably be viable in the future. But this makes basically no business sense for a channel primarily focused on reviews and builds. Nothing LTT does will be of any real entertainment value in twenty-five years, and as far as historical or archival purposes go for sentiment on old tech, the media quality really doesn't need to be above "legible", 1080's gonna be fine forevermore.
LTT's still making what I consider to be a fairly rookie business mistake, which is that assuming increasing revenue on a given product means you should spend more on the production of that product in all aspects. Cheap materials become luxury materials, "good enough" assembly becomes computer analysis of every seam, the box becomes a brightly colored painting plastered with beauty shots and marketing pitch. But if the product is a thermos, your just wasting money on shit that doesn't matter most of the time. It's short sighted at best, and stupid clout chasing at worst, to just spend on something for the sake of spending on it.

Spending money on something just for the sake of spending is the essence of LTT.

It's spending money to buy problems. Expensive camera needs expensive lens, vice versa.
Essence of LTT. Not broke? Just introduce more problems and consooom.

Camera lenses that was used back in the days when shoting film didn't even have the sharpness to be above a certain resolution (in pixels) anyways, even if it's on films, it's probably not a sharp image. This is why there are movies that were shot on film never had a 4K release, the lenses just didn't cover the quality needed for a 4K image, so they just went with a high bitrate 1080p for the bluray release instead.
For LTT I think I saw a behind the scenes video where the camera setting was 4
0 (8 bit color), 4K. This means that the high dynamic range that these cameras can shot is disabled (they can do 10 and 12 bit), and since he has studio lighting, as you said: he can literally just use a $1000 vlog camera, and get exactly the same quality for editing. I really hope it was just a meme in his video, but it was from the viewfinder I saw this, the clip was from 2 years ago.
