I wonder if libgen was the turning point of quality that allowed the growth of these companies. Would the creators be happy or sad about that?

Sad as it defeats the purpose and spirit of libgen.

Being more concrete: I don't think they made libgen hoping the content would be used to create an even worse walled garden for knowledge.
