Stealing implies the thing is gone, no longer accessible to the owner.
People aren't protected from copying in the same way. There are lots of valid exclusions, and building new non competing tools is a very common exclusion.
The big issue with the OpenAI case, is that they didn't pay for the books. Scanning them and using them for training is very much likely to be protected. Similar case with the old Nintendo bootloader.
The "Corpo Fascists" are buoyed by your support for the IP laws that have thus far supported them. If anything, to be less "Corpo Fascist" we would want more people to have more access to more data. Mankind collectively owns the creative output of Humanity, and should be able to use it to make derivative works.
