Note that copyright misuse is a separate doctrine from fair use, and unlike fair use it is not effected by any usurpation of market share.
That said, I think fair use is more likely to apply than copyright misuse in this case. I just brought it up as one way that the judiciary is empowered to be lenient in their judgment on copyright infringement because of compatibility and lock-in.
