Git is also a tool, but cloning a repo does not means I created the software.

Exactly. It also doesn't obscure the original property rights or licensing, nor can it be done without permission of the owner.

The LLM crowd just loves the idea that all tools are equivalent with the same set primary-, secondary-, and side-effects, a false claim used as low-effort universal self-absolution.

Cool, you can also use a 3D printer/lathe/CNC machine to clone a mechanical patented physical item. Plagiary can be done with any existing tool/method, you don't need an LLM for that.
