Even if so, in older disputes (see Betamax/VHS), the possibility of verbatim reproduction didn’t stop the technology from being allowed because there were other non-reproduction benefits (time shifting).

Also, the restriction isn’t on a technology that could possibly reproduce something. It is on the act of using the technology to reproduce something.
