That's an interesting TOS.

I've never before seen "fair use" called out as an explicit allowance in terms of copyright restrictions by the part of the copyright holder. It's not entirely clear to me what that would even imply.

I suspect they're trying to give more reassurance to "personal, non-commercial use is allowed as long as you don't hit our servers too hard" --- which seems to be their stance on a lot of their other services too.
It may have implications in countries where fair use is not a thing.
I feel like it's to explicitly allow b-roll for media.
