I’m absolutely against the idea of EULAs but the fact remains they are only enforceable because it’s the copying that is the reserved right, not the distribution. If it was distribution then second hand sales would be prohibitable (though thanks to going digital only that loop hole is getting pulled shut slowly but surely).
Copyright laws are not universally enforceable in general, so I fail to see your point. They are enforceable in the US where the big AI companies looking for a free lunch are operating though so let’s focus on that shall we?
If I have to pay to use copyright material to train my own Actual Intelligence, I don’t see why companies with massive development budgets should get to use vastly more material to train their “AI” models for free.

Again, they are not universally enforceable. There are plenty of jurisdictions where they are not.
