I find this argument really compelling. But, I also find it interesting to contrast this with HN's reactions to a court declaring web scraping legal a couple of weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22180559

It is interesting but the proposal is entirely in line with that case as I recall. This issue was LinkedIn was complaining about scrapping of publicly reachable sites. And this new proposal is to keep the contents of discussions unarchived behind a login.
