Anthropic did pay $1.5B to authors. But yes, it would be much better if they paid everyone on the internet dividends from every Claude chat. Or released Claude as an open model.

In practice, the former isn't very realistic, while the latter is politically dead as this is becoming a national security issue.

Anthropic was forced to pay some people they stole content from, there was no attempt at getting permission ahead of time.

And paying basically everyone online is more or less a solved problem, it's what ad agencies have to do every day.
