It is essentially a counter-regulation to try to undo damage of monopolistic protections. The better thing would be to strip away the anti-circumvention clauses entirely but that isn't politically viable unfortunately. Really regarding loopholes I doubt it is because of any lobbying by tech companies so much as massive incompetence from grandstanders and trying to serve vested interests. Just look at the "link tax". Their paycheck and job security doesn't rest on understanding so are willfully ignorant. They gleefully skip to dystopia in the name of doing something because of feelings with no regard for "will it actually solve the goddamned problem?!".
