they should pay the marginal value that the next buyer would buy.
Do you also think that a person dying of thirst ought to pay the maximum price they could possibly pay for water?
It might be me but I fail to see the equivalence of AI companies with thirst deaths. That', or maybe because it's a strawman.
If Elon Musk is dying of thirst then the price of that glass of water is set at (pinky to side of mouth) one million dollars.

Well the argument is that they should pay for the right to produce derivative works not for the physical copy.
