Fair use is not a right. It's a defence. You're still infringing copyright, but this is an infringement that they cannot punish. Importantly, law makers see fair use as a restriction of the rights of the copyright holder, not as a right granted to users of that IP.
People have always known that DMCA interferes with these defences. See for example this from 2001: https://repository.uchastings.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1567&context=hastings_comm_ent_law_journal https://repository.uchastings.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl...
