The third example was not a reach over fault IMO. The ball was clearly right over the net which meant both sides had the right to make a play. HOWEVER, The setter committed a net violation.
Him touching the ball wasn't the problem. The reach was that his hand made contact with the ball on the opponent's side, and since the net touch came later, the ref called reach.
Sure both team can play the ball however they still can't touch the part of the ball that is on the opponent side. On this play, only the blocker had the right to block on the other side provided he touch the ball after the attack.
In the first 2 examples, the player's first touch on the ball was on their opponent's side of the net. No attack is legal if the first contact is in the opponent's space. You can BLOCK in the opponent's space (with some limitations) but can never attack in the opponent's space. If you attack the ball and you first touch the ball on your own side of the net then you can follow though over the net. In the last example, his first touch was in his own side of the net so that wasn't a fault but the ref didn't think so. But as others have pointed out, he was in the net anyway so he deserved to lose the point.
In the last clip the setter was in the net first. His head was in contact with the net band.

Yep massive net touch, and the ref still called reach? What was he smoking?
If at start of contact with the ball, a part of your hand is penetrating the vertical plane, it is a reach over.

First clip, the early whistle confused me, but I think the video is at fault.
What is the foul happened in this video..
