Isn’t the whole reason the lawsuit started because the Internet Archive went above an own-to-loan ratio of 1? This blog post completely leaves this detail out and makes it seem they were always only doing 1 physical copy to 1 digital copy which is not true.

No. The lawsuit was about CDL as a whole, and there's plenty of evidence showing publishers were preparing for it even without the COVID emergency library. If the lawsuit was just over the emergency library, I doubt IA would still be fighting.
