Because what a court does isn't always logical or even reasonable. Especially on IP stuff, especially on IP stuff involving software. Did you pay attention to Oracle v. Google?

So far in the Oracle v Google case it's been ruled that apis are covered under copyright, but that implementing them from scratch is covered by fair use. I mean, that's not wholly unreasonable.

Oracle has appealed, would we'll see what happens.
