charged for view in adwords that aren't registered in YouTube

I am being charged for views through True View campaigns in Adwords and then see the overall plays (from all channels) below this number of views when reported in YouTube. I had a very courtesy answer from a Google support staff member but I have to say that this is really troubling me. The explanation was that Adwords and YouTube calculate views differently. OK but I don’t think I am being unreasonable in expecting to get what I pay for. If they aren’t considered views by YouTube then surely Adwords should not consider them a view either? Different platforms but same company and maybe it could be decided to under-report Adwords clicks / views. Maybe someone from Google can give me a comparable example in their daily lives where they pay for something but don’t get what the paid for and are satisfied?

Hi @Matthew B;
Indeed "Different platforms, but same company", but at the same time, those are different products, (ads vs. Videos) developed by different divisions, with different measuring methods...
Here is how you are charged by AdWords:
