This is about the "National Emergency Library" they launched during the peak of the COVID pandemic? I think they had good intentions, but the legality around it was definitely questionable from the start.

No, this is about controlled digital lending as a whole. The ruling issued struck down all CDL, and only mentioned the National Emergency Library to say that it was also illegal as CDL was illegal.
Yes, in part. But it's also about their online lending program wholesale.

Can I cite old argument that "If someone invents book libraries now, they will be completely illegal."?
