I honestly think it's the better way to deal with this problem - nothing the model generates should be copyrightable. You can use model outputs for anything unless the model replicates training data verbatim. This leaves a path open for AI skills to trickle down to open source models. It's a pity we can't copyright model outputs or the models themselves (also a result of a mechanistic process), but better in the long run.

We should not protect ideas from replication, only the expression should be copyrightable. Using data from another model extracts the ideas without the expression of the original training set, exactly following the idea/expression rule.
