As far as I understood it 2. isn't about open access per see. It's just completely absurd that e.g. if I publish an paper and than want to re read it in a year I have to buy my own paper. Same when I want to give it to an intern to read and similar.

So it's about the author being able to reuse it for himself, not about open access.

But in practice "reuse it for himself" means "upload to arXiv."
